History and profile

Telva was started in October 1963.[2][3] During its initial phase, the magazine was controlled by Opus Dei.[4] More specifically, the publisher of the magazine was owned by Opus Dei[5] and had a conservative political stance.[5]

Pilar Salcedo held the position of director of Telva from its founding in October 1963 to 1970.[6] Covadonga O'Shea became the editor in 1970 who had worked as deputy director after leaving education with a degree.[7] Following the death of Franco in 1975 the Spanish institutions began to take part in democratic transition, but Telva did not change its ultra conservative stance.[5] For instance, it continued to oppose the legalization of abortion which was criticised by a feminist magazine, Vindicación Feminista.[8]
