Two news periodicals witnessed the genesis of Portuguese journalism. They were the Gazeta nicknamed "of the Restoration" (1641-1647) and the Mercúrio Português [Portuguese Mercury] (1663-1667). Both emerged in a context of crisis. Portugal was at war with Castile after a group of conspirators orchestrated a separatist coup in December 1st, 1640, acclaiming D. João IV as King of Portugal, giving rise to the Bragança dynasty and ending the 60 year-period of dual monarchy under the Habsburgs and the Iberian union between Castile and Portugal. The onset of Portuguese news periodicals is closely connected to the resulting political, military and social conflicts, namely the "Acclamation War" and the "Restoration of Independence."

If Portuguese 17th century news writing was structurally similar to nowadays journalism, may those first Portuguese periodicals be considered newspapers?

How did the context of the time affect their discourse? And finally, sixteen years apart, is there an evolution between the Gazeta and Mercúrio Português? Questions such as these were the motivation for this research, whose goal is to describe and compare the discourse of the first two Portuguese periodicals, research object, according to a contextual framework encompassing history, comparativism and journalism.
