description The newspapers published in the Canary Islands during the Second Republic, apart from alleviating, like the peninsular newspapers, the loss of a good part of the archival documentation of the time during the Civil War and Franco's autarky, have a unique interest as sources of historical documentation. We say unique because, after becoming autonomous information companies in the heat of the economic boom in the "roaring" twenties, they exercised a de facto information monopoly within the framework of the freedoms of the Second Republic. This was due to the Atlantic location of the archipelago, almost two thousand kilometers from the peninsula, where the signal from Unión Radio's news programs did not reach, nor did the attractive Madrid newspapers arrive that, by rail, arrived on the same day they were published in the peninsular periphery. It was, therefore, an unrepeatable communicative situation reminiscent of the "golden age" experienced by the press of the most developed Western countries before the outbreak of World War I.
