El Ciervo (Spanish : The Deer) is a cultural and opinion magazine based in Barcelona, Spain. Founded in 1951 the magazine is one of the longest running independent cultural and political magazines in the country. [1]
El Ciervo was established in 1951. [2] [3] Its first issue appeared in Barcelona in late June 1951. [4] Lorenzo Gomis was its cofounder and one of its directors. [5] [6] [7] His wife journalist Roser Bofill is the other cofounder. [7] The magazine is a brainchild of Claudio Colomer Marqués, director of the newspaper El Correo Catalán. [4] He also financed the magazine for the first five years. [4] It previously came out monthly. [8] It is published by El Ciervo 96, S.A, five times a year. [3]
The magazine has no ties with media groups or political parties. [3] During the formative years the magazine adhered to liberal Christian stance, but later it abandoned it. [1] At the same time the magazine was one of the media outlets, which expressed a culture of dissidence. [9] By the late 1950s it began to adopt a progressive stance. [8] The headquarters of the magazine was seized by the Francoist forces. [6] During the 1970s it supported the democratic transition to end Francoist era. [5] On 4 July 1972 the Adolfo Hitler Commando invaded the headquarters of the magazine. [10] Following the transition the magazine reduced its interest in politics, and mostly covered cultural issues. [5]
