The article demonstrates how Communication History developed in Portugal and Spain
demonstrating that, despite the fact both countries were ruled by dictatorships between
the 1930s and the 1970s, the field of media studies in general received totally different
treatment from the two authoritarian regimes. Moreover, it also demonstrates that after the
implementation of democracy Communication History continued mostly on two different
paths in the Iberian countries due to the distinct ways in which media studies were integrated
in the academia. The different stages of development achieved by the field in the two
countries are also explained. Nevertheless, despite all the differences, the author points out
common themes that have been researched on both sides of the Iberian border and demonstrates
that, despite media history being mostly dominated by nation-bound approaches,
today there are common patterns on how it is produced in Portugal and Spain with clear
similarities to the work also being carried out in other European countries.
