As associa es de jornalistas, em Portugal, até 1974, e as suas publica es contributo para uma reflex o acerca do associativismo jornalístico

Portugal has followed, since 1880, the international trend towards the foundation of representative organizations of journalists, documenting the growing sense of class among those who did of the editorial office of a newspaper an occupation, an activity or even a profession. The goal of this paper is to know the journalists' associations that existed in Portugal, from the very beginning until 1974, and in particular those which published some kind of bulletin or magazine, as well as presenting, in summary form, the respective publications. To that end, we have used bibliographic research about the journalistic associations and, especially, a documentary analysis of such publications.
