Abstract

This reflection wants to think and to show the symbolic system of domination practiced by the dictatorship of Salazar and Caetano on television since the beginning until April 25, 1974, when the regime fell. At first, we want to observe the main differences between the two dictators in the use and manipulation of Portuguese television, then, to explicit professional practices and the main historical and political marks used by the system of government, under the dictatorship, in their relationship with television.
