Verdad ('Truth') was a short-lived daily tabloid newspaper published in Montevideo, Uruguay, published in the early 1950s as an organ of the Communist Party of Uruguay. [1] [2] [3] The publication was launched in late August 1950, in the run-up to the general election held in that year. [4]
Verdad carried four pages. [4] The newspaper carried the byline Vocero diario del Partido Comunista ('Daily organ of the Communist Party'). [5] Initially the newspaper was mainly oriented towards Communist Party cadres, but was available for external subscriptions. [6]
The financial situation of the newspaper was dire, and it was run by a small editorial team. [3] The editorial office of Verdad was based in Casa de La Prensa Comunista, together with the party fortnightly Justicia and the monthly Nosotras. [7] Héctor Rodríguez, Member of Parliament, textile workers' leader and the National Propaganda Secretary of the Communist Party, served as the director of Verdad (albeit this was more of a symbolic appointment, Rodríguez lacked time to manage the day-to-day affairs of the newspaper). [8] [9] Editors and key contributors of Verdad included Niko Schvarz, César Reyes Daglio, Ismael Weinberger, Luciano Weinberger and Juan Carlos Urruzola. [5]
In February 1951 Rodríguez was demoted by the party leadership and removed from the post as Verdad director. [8] Verdad was closed down in late 1951, as the Communist Party opted to concentrate its resources on converting the main party organ Justicia into a daily. [10] [11] The editorial team of Verdad joined Justicia. [5]
