Abstract
Through a study of the periodic press of Buenos Aires and the diplomatic documentation, this article analyzes the cultural and media repercussions of the British policy of “black lists”, started at the beginning of 1916 as part of a new phase of the commercial war against Germany and its allies. It seeks to demonstrate that the debate on the “black lists” occupied, for various reasons, a central place in the Buenos Aires press during the months following its application. Not only because of the direct effect of this commercial war on some publications that were included in said list but also because of the various alignments and the “uses” that the “black lists” aroused in almost all the local press.
