Abstract
La historia del periodismo local en la España del siglo XIX está cargada de grandes sobresaltos y singulares acontecimientos. Nada será en balde y mucho menos en pequeñas ciudades como Astorga. La Guerra de la Independencia significó un punto de inflexión del que no fue ajena la iglesia asturicense, la capitalidad de su diócesis, siempre fuente de privilegios. El primer periódico de la provincia leonesa solo podía nacer en Astorga. Desde 1854 la historia de la prensa escrita no debería olvidarse de lo que puede aquí considerarse privilegiadas excepciones. El Boletín Eclesiástico de la Diócesis de Astorga abre la puerta a hojas volanderas y publicaciones escritas capaces de adelantarse a la llegada del ferrocarril o del telégrafo. Es la introducción, lo que marca la diferencia. El Pensamiento Astorgano es el resultado de una desmedida necesidad de contar y compartir ideales e historias. La gran crisis del 98 dejó a los mejores astorganos más cerca de influir en decisiones capitales. Uno de ellos, el ministro Pío Gullón puso su impronta en la ley de prensa más liberal después de pasar por Gobernación. Dimitió sin poder parar la guerra contra los Estados Unidos y antes de firmar la paz de París, cuando era ministro de estado. Los primeros años del siglo XX en Astorga son años de tinta y letras. No será El Pensamiento el primero en llegar pero si el último en hacerse a un lado. La necesidad hizo virtud en Astorga, singular paraíso amurallado con una bimilenaria existencia de vidas e historias. Una veintena de publicaciones y hasta media docena de imprentas avalan un pasado singular que bien merece una serena reflexión que ayude a plantear soluciones de futuro...
The history of local journalism in 19th century Spain is fraught with great shocks and unique events. Nothing will be in vain, much less in small cities like Astorga. The Spanish War of Independence meant a turning point that was not insignificant to the Asturicense church, the capital of its diocese, always a source of privilege.The first newspaper of the Leon province could only be born in Astorga. The history of written press should never forget the privileged exceptions of 1854 Astorga. The Ecclesiastical Bulletin of the Diocese of Astorga opened the doors to flyers and written publications capable of preceding the arrival of the railroad and the telegraph. It is the introduction that makes the difference. El Pensamiento Astorgano is the result of an inordinate need to tell and share ideals and stories. The great crisis of 1898 left the best Astorgans closer to influencing capital decisions. One of them, Minister Pío Gullón, put his stamp on the most liberal press law after passing it through government. He resigned without being able to stop the war against the United States and before signing the Treaty of Paris as the Minister of State. The first years of 20th century Astorga are years of ink and letters. El Pensamiento will not be the first to arrive, but the last to step aside. Necessity made a virtue in Astorga, a singular, walled paradise with a two thousand year history of lives and stories. About twenty publications and up to half a dozen printers endorse a singular past that deserves a serene reflection which helps propose solutions for the future...
