“OUR LITTLE NEWSPAPER” THE LA SOLIDARIDAD AND PHILIPPINE JOURNALISM IN SPAIN (1889-1895)

Jose Victor Z. Torres

 

Abstract:

“Nuestros periodiquito” or “Our little newspaper” was how Marcelo del Pilar described the periodical that would serve as the organ of the Philippine reform movement in Spain. For the next seven years, the La Solidaridad became the respected Philippine newspaper in the peninsula that voiced out the reformists’ demands and showed their attempt to open the eyes of the Spaniards to what was happening to the colony in the Philippines.
