Abstract/Summary

This paper is a comparative study on the suppression of print media that took place during the dictatorial rule of Benito Mussolini in Italy and Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. It also discusses the reasons why there was the need to control and manipulate the dissemination of information during the time it was badly needed by the people. This paper discusses as well both the Italians' and the Filipinos' responses and attitudes on the suppression.

The degree of power wielded by Mussolini and Marcos as dictators is discussed in the manner that the extensiveness, comprehensiveness, and the intensity of the said power is given importance. The degree of suppression done and the degree of resistance of the people are also tackled.

It is also worth noting that this study, being the first of its kind, is going to be the proponents' very relevant contribution to the academe.
