No-Do is the colloquial name for Noticiario y Documentales ("News and Documentaries"), a state-controlled series of cinema newsreels produced in Spain from 1943 to 1981 and closely associated with the dictatorial regime of Francisco Franco.
In their heyday, the No-Do newsreels contained Francoist propaganda and effervescent reporting in favour of the Francoist State. They were a way in which Franco could have a monopoly over the news and supply public information, censorship and propaganda for the formation of public opinion favorable to the Spanish State.
