El Duende was a Dominican newspaper from Santo Domingo founded by José Núñez de Cáceres. It was the second Dominican paper. It printed its first issue just a few days after Núñez de Cáceres' second paper, El Telégrafo Continental de Santo Domingo, had appeared.[1][1] Both papers were the result of an increasing politicization among the Dominican criollos[2] in Santo Domingo, who were at the time under the Spanish colonial government.[1][1][3] Political satire, opinions, and dialogue about the colony's relation with Spain were the main uses of this paper. Though it lasted for only four months, it left a precedent that inspired similar contributions later in the 19th century. Through it, Núñez de Cáceres developed himself as a fabulist,[4] publishing stories he signed as "El Fabulista Principiante" (novice).[1][5]
