Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Álvaro Obregón and the press of the city of Mexico, particularly with the journal Excélsior, during the electoral campaign from 1919 to 1920. During the months of October 1919 to September 1920, a period in which the events occurred the rebellion of Agua Prieta to the election of Álvaro Obregón as president, the political landscape in Mexico changed. The arrival of the Sonoran political class to power through a coup was justified by the press. Excélsior played an important role in building a favorable public opinion of presidential candidate Obregon, endorsing the actions that brought him to power.
