It must be day!
It must be day! was a newspaper that appeared in Munich in the winter of 1848/1849 . It was subtitled “Organ der Arbeiter” and was published by the tailor A. Nißle , a zealous and radical publicist of the revolution who described himself as a “worker” and had an even more radical attitude than Sebastian Danzer .
The newspaper was revolutionary and radical democratic and represented republican, anti-clerical ideas. It appeared on Wednesdays and Saturdays from December 6, 1848. On January 22nd, after the thirteenth edition, it ceased to be published because the authorities were persecuting it.
It must be day! was one of a plethora of newspapers that were created when press censorship was lifted in March 1848, but mostly only existed until the end of 1850. The very differentiated party-political spectrum in these papers ranged from radical-democratic to ultra-montane conservative positions. This journalistic bloom resulted in a sustained politicization of public discourse, which had a long lasting effect on the disappearance of most newspapers around 1849/50.
