Abstract

During the First World War many Spanish writers were hired by journals and newspapers to cover the War in Europe. This study approaches the journalistic work of Eduardo Zamacois, a Spanish writer of Cuban origin, during those years. Working for La Tribuna, a pro-German newspaper in Madrid, Zamacois traveled through Europe and visited France, Switzerland, and Italy. For several months he published his chronicles in the paper, and he offered his readership a vivid account of what was happening in Europe. He was well aware of the multiple obstacles a journalist would have to affront in order to develop his job, but notwithstanding he was able to write a rich and varied corpus of texts that are carefully conceived in their discursive and ideological architecture.
