[2] Buna Vestire was published in Bucharest with the subtitle "Free newspaper of Romanian struggle and doctrine" ("Ziar liber de luptă și doctrină românească") and took an explicitly antisemitic, ultra-nationalist stance.

In response to an article criticizing former Prime Minister Iuliu Maniu, Iron Guard leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu was prompted to issue a circular explaining to his followers that:[3]"This newspaper is not Legionary.

[3] Contributors and editors for Buna Vestire included the Legionnaires Radu Gyr,[9] Neculai (or Nicolae) Totu,[10] Bănică Dobre, Horia Stamatu, Valeriu Cârdu,[11] Gheorghe Cantacuzino-Grănicerul,[12] Virgil Rădulescu, Alexandru Christian Tell, and the right-wing journalist Sextil Pușcariu.

[13] The newspaper regularly published declarations by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu and exclusive articles about the activities of the Iron Guard, alongside antisemitic polemic, cultural and sports news, and reports about nationalist movements in Europe.

Its first issue was devoted to commemorating the Iron Guard martyrs Ion Moța and Vasile Marin, who had been killed in the Spanish Civil War the preceding month.

The vast majority of the paper's editorial board (Nicolae Totu, Bănică Dobre, Virgil Rădulescu, Mihail Polihroniade, Alexandru C. Tell) were killed at Râmnicu Sărat Prison in September 1939.
