History

edit

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]
