Abstract
In the scope of Portuguese Colonial Empire of 19th and 20th centuries, this chapter presents and debates the Imperial Public Sphere, which had as main institution the press of Portugal and the newspapers published in colonial territories. The Imperial Public Sphere shaped a public space of discussion, contest and struggle regarding the socio-po- litical challenges of Portugal, its colonies and Portuguese Empire. The ‘imperial elites’ and ‘colonial elites’ were the key protagonists of this public space, where they played political and ideological power.
