Gazeta do Povo (GP) is a Brazilian newspaper based in Curitiba, Paraná. The newspaper is almost exclusively published in digital format, with a weekly magazine edition on Saturdays. It is currently considered the largest newspaper in Paraná and the oldest newspaper in the state.
After a moderate turn in its political stance, beginning in 2015, the newspaper became an outlet for Brazilian conservatism.[1] [2]
It was founded on February 3, 1919,[3] by Benjamin Lins and Oscar Joseph de Plácido e Silva. In 1962, the newspaper was bought by the partners Francisco Cunha Pereira Filho and Edmundo Lemanski, transforming the newspaper into one of the main companies of the Grupo Paranaense de Comunicação (GRPCOM).[4]
On December 1, 2015, the newspaper changed format, from broadsheet to Berliner, with a maximum of 48 pages. On weekends, the newspaper was printed in a single 88-page edition. On 1 June 2017, Gazeta do Povo ceased to be published daily in a physical edition in order to focus on its news website.[5] [6]
