Un modelo de prensa singular y tardío: El Principado de Andorra

Abstract

The first newspaper published in Andorra was in 1917. This year is chronologically far from the first newspapers that appeared in the neighboring states, France (1631) and Spain (1641). This delay is understandable because the first printing house was established in Andorra in 1940, and the political Constitution was approved in 1993. This research studies periodical newspapers and magazines published in Andorra in the last 90 years. The study shows that in the Principality there is autochthonous model press characterized by high periodicity, a lot of specialized magazines, and the use of several languages, although Catalan language is majority.
