Abstract:
H Hώς [=The Aurora], (Nauplium, 1830-1831 at intervals) and O Εθνικός [=The National (masc.)] (Aegina, 1832) were short-lived -due to political reasons- Greek periodical publications. In this study we examine the initial intentions of their publishers, the causes of their persecution and the methods employed by the political opponents, who tried and succeeded in cancelling their publication. H Hώς, which was published in the capital of the new state, Nauplium, was considered by the Police and the government of Ioannis Kapodistrias as dangerous for the national interests, because in April 1830 it began to reproach the ministers of the state. The editor Emmanuel Antoniadis stood trial, was found guilty, and the publication of the newspaper was provisionally proscribed. In the fall of the same year Antoniadis continued for a while with the publication, but the newspaper was banned again by the court. The publisher resorted to the Court of Appeal and was acquitted, so he published two more issues in April 1831 and finally was forced to give up, because, according to the Police, the exculpatory decision did not include the cancellation of the publication’s ban. O Εθνικός was published on the island of Aegina by the adherents of Ioannis Kapodistrias following his murder, so that they might assist in the reconstruction of their political party. The liberal intellectuals and politicians, that reproached Kapodistrias for the prosecution of the Press, cancelled the publication of this newspaper without bringing the publisher to trial: when he was about to publish an article containing some deprecatory remarks against the teachers of the Central School in Aegina, they found the opportunity to incite some students of that School against him. The students invaded the printing-house, destroyed the forms and assaulted the publisher. The publisher was blamed by his political opponents for the disturbance and was forced to abandon the island of Aegina.
