Jornal de Notícias (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒuɾˈnal dɨ nuˈtisjɐʃ]; lit. 'News Journal'; shortened to JN) is a Portuguese daily national newspaper, one of the oldest in Portugal.

History and profile

JN was founded in Porto[1] and was first published on 21 June 1888.[2] It was one of two Portuguese newspapers published in Angola during the colonial rule.[3] The other was Diário Popular.[3] JN has since become one of the most popular newspapers, especially after the Carnation Revolution.

Following the Carnation revolution, JN was nationalized and later privatized in the early 1990s.[4] Then the paper and Diário de Notícias were sold to the Lusomundo group.[4][5] In 2005 the Controlinveste group bought papers.[6] Both papers are now owned by Global Media Group, which was named Controlinveste Media until January 2015.[7][8]

In 1995 JN started its online version, being one of the first two Portuguese newspapers in this regard.[9] Since the late 1990s the paper has provided several gifts as a way to retain and attract new readers. It could offer various gifts, such as collectible fascicles and cutlery.

JN is published in four editions: National, Centre, Minho, and South. Its editor-in-chief is Domingos de Andrade.[10]

Circulation

The circulation of JN was 108,000 copies in the period between January and September 2000.[1] Between January and March 2003 the paper had a circulation of 109,000 copies.[11] The circulation of the paper was 102,000 copies in 2003, making it the second best selling newspaper in the country.[12]

Its circulation was 100,188 copies in 2005.[13] It was the second best-selling newspaper in Portugal with a circulation of 92,000 copies in 2007.[14] Between September and October 2013 the paper sold 65,403 copies.[7]
