Resumen:
Traditional political sectors within Franco's regime had newspapers somehow aligned with their approaches. This point appears to be more problematic when referred to the so-called technocrats, who played a notable role in politics between 1957 and 1973. A number of historians contend that some national-circulation newspapers (Madrid, El Alcazar and Nuevo Diario) and the news agency Europa Press were not only technocrat representatives but also Opus Dei's press due to the fact that members of this institution took on prominent positions. This article analyzes the relevance and accuracy of this identification, which was influenced by the politicization that Falangists and the minister of Information, Manuel Fraga, acting in their own interests, promoted from their power spheres. Various historians have uncritically adopted this interpretation.
