Resumen de Paulino Masip, director de La Vanguardia
Despite the efforts made in recent years to recover and rerelease his work, Paulino Masip continues to be even today, and in the best of cases, the author of only one book, El diario de Hamlet García (The Diary of Hamlet García). And if such a limitation is already in itself inappropriate, even more so is the ignorance which enshrouds his role as a journalist. Because Paulino Masip was, above all, a journalist. And a significant journalist. A disciple of Manuel Chaves Nogales, during the Second Republic, Masip came to direct El Sol (The Sun) and La Voz (The Voice) and, in the very midst of the Spanish civil war, La Vanguardia (The Vanguard). In this newspaper he published some thirty articles of undeniable quality, in which one notes the ever difficult relations between journalism and politics.
