Cuadernos para el Diálogo (Spanish: Notebooks for Dialogue) was a monthly cultural magazine published between 1963 and 1978 in Madrid, Spain.

History and profile[edit]

Cuadernos was established in October 1963 by Joaquín Ruiz-Giménez, a former minister of education under Franco.[1][2][3] It was the first current affairs magazine of Spain.[4] Its headquarters was in Madrid.[5]

During its initial phase Cuadernos had a Christian democratic political leaning.[2] However, over time it had more democratic and less Christian stance.[2] Then it supported center-left trends and later, it became a socialist publication.[3]

Spanish journalists who favored pluralism in the country contributed to Cuadernos.[6] In the words of Paul Preston, the magazine was, together with Triunfo, one of two "champions of democratic ideals".[1] During the transition to democracy it was one of the major publications focusing on the need for democratic reforms.[7]

Cuadernos sold 30,000 copies in 1968.[8] The magazine ceased publication at the end of 1978[3] due to financial problems.[9]
