Oliveira Salazar used the press so that the Francoist band would rise to victory in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). In this paper, the dispatches from the war correspondents of the Diário de Lisboa, Diário de Notícias, Diário da Manhã and O Século are analyzed, reporters who covered the massacre of Badajoz and the battle of Toledo. The investigation, using a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology, shows the propagandistic ends behind these news titles at the service of the foreign policy of the Estado Novo, and the way in which the censorship converted them into ideological weapons that demonized the Republic and offered a positive image of the rebels. The spectacular coverage given to the fall of the Alcázar de Toledo contributed to forging the myth of the historic site, which the journalist, Mário Neves (Diário de Lisboa), highlighted over and above all others in his report on the events at Badajoz.

The universalization of education that takes place throughout the twentieth century in Spain came strongly to the peripheral provinces especially from the sixties, although the process of school multiplication had been accentuated since the twenties. When democracy is established, we can say that in the capitals almost all the children were schooled and they had good teaching spaces.The historical process of change that we comment is analyzed here, studying Badajoz capital through the press and the archives, studying classrooms and school buildings. It went from the room reused in old or ramshackled houses to the modern technified palace with all the equipment. This evolution had an impact on urban planning, as new schools were built in all the neighborhoods.

The nineteenth century was a crucial moment for the development of primary education in the Spanish State. Public education becomes stable alongside the political and social vicissitudes of the country, establishing a solid foundation that is essential to understand the current organizational structures, as well as some of their burdens. From the data collected in previous publications, this research develops information relating to the province of Badajoz from 1957 to 1900, as a particular case study to present an overview of what was the primary education in the XIX century. Starting on these data, we can draw some conclusions about the demographic and socio-political distribution of public elementary schools at this turning point for the Spanish education.

El presente trabajo tiene dos objetivos: desarrollar un modelo exhaustivo de 44 indicadores para evaluar el funcionamiento o la situación de las bibliotecas escolares; y diseñar un modelo específico de 30 características para valorar objetivamente la calidad de los sitios web de las bibliotecas escolares. Además, se lleva a cabo la aplicación práctica de ambos modelos sobre las bibliotecas escolares de la ciudad de Badajoz (en la región de Extremadura, España) en 2012 con la finalidad de comprobar la validez de los modelos y obtener un ranking de las bibliotecas atendiendo a su situación y a la calidad de sus sitios web. Entre los resultados hallados se demuestra que no existe correlación entre el ranking obtenido por las bibliotecas escolares atendiendo a su situación actual y al ranking de calidad de sus sitios web.
