Gazeta do Povo (GP; lit. 'People's Gazette') 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 grosso 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]
History
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, focusing on mobile platforms, not just for news consumption but also news production.[5][6]
In June 2020, it was included by the Joint Parliamentary Inquiry Commission on Fake News as a vehicle for fake news,[7] but later it was removed from the list of 47 alleged propagators of fake news that the parliamentary commission drew up, when an error was recognized by parliamentary consultants.[8]
During the 2022 presidential election in Brazil, at the request of the Workers' Party (PT), the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) demanded that a Twitter post by the newspaper be removed, on the grounds that it contained "clearly false information that is detrimental to the honor and image of a candidate for the presidency in the 2022 elections." The post concerned the alleged support of candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva for Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega.[9] The decision was criticized by the National Association of Newspapers and other entities.[10]
