Abstract (EN): The objective of this chapter is to describe and to analyze the institutional, structural and legal frameworks of media systems in five authoritarian states (Spain, Portugal, Greece, the German Democratic Republic (GDR), and Hungary) in twentieth‐century Europe. While the focus is on media control, propaganda, and censorship, the authors also take into account the emergence of co‐existing or competing public spheres on the level of (mass) communication, such as illegal publications, literature, or transnational media. The chapter concludes with a discussion on both the similarities and differences between the media systems of the five countries with the aim of advancing knowledge in the field of authoritarian communication.
