Media in Spain is national and political. It has the same category of media as other countries: print, broadcast and social media. Censorship was the main feature of all Spanish culture. The press, literature, and the cinema were heavily censored during the time of the Franco government. Then in 1978, the prior censorship was outlawed by the Constitution.
