As a student, in 1967, I decided to get my professional experience in a newspaper that opposed Salazar's ruling. Portugal had serious difficulties and was mentally and materially undeveloped. The colonial war made situation almost unbearable, with the intensive emigration and a dictatorship sustained by censorship and political police.
The experience in the "Republica" newspaper was a privilege. Moreover, in order not to forget, here are the names of the people that due to their impartiality, honour and verticality were important to my learning process: (journalists) Miguel Serrano, Figueiredo Filipe, Afonso Cautela, Eduardo Valente da Fonseca, (writer) Manuel de Fonseca, Marcelino Mesquita, and the directors of the newspaper Alfredo Guisado and Carvalhão Duarte amongst others.
In order not to forget, also, the freedom-less times that we had, here are the original samples of censured articles by the censorship services of the dictators Oliveira Salazar and Marcelo Caetano.
