Abstract
Latin America experienced the Great War, which consumed Europe between 1914 and 1918,
through the press. From the beginning, leading newspapers waged intense, constant, and
diverse propaganda campaigns on behalf of both of the quarrelling sides in an attempt to
obtain the public’s support. The international news agencies and wire networks turned the
conflict into the first major media-covered event of the 20
th century.
