Folha turns 105 years old this Thursday
Folha celebrates its 105th anniversary on October 19, highlighting its historical evolution since its founding in 1921.
Folha, one of Brazil's prominent newspapers, marks 105 years since its inception on October 19, 2023. Founded by Olival Costa and five colleagues as Folha da Noite in 1921, the newspaper has evolved significantly over the decades. It expanded its editions to include Folha da ManhΓ£ and Folha da Tarde, and in 1960, these titles were unified under the name Folha de S.Paulo, establishing a strong brand that resonates in the Brazilian media landscape today.
The evolution of Folha reflects broader changes in Brazilian journalism and society. Over its 105 years, it has transitioned from a local publication to a national voice, addressing various social, political, and economic issues relevant to its readership. This anniversary not only marks the newspaper's age but also serves as a reminder of its ongoing commitment to quality independent journalism, with a focus on providing diverse perspectives through a robust team of journalists and columnists.
As part of its anniversary celebration, Folha encourages readers to support journalism that informs citizens and holds power accountable, emphasizing the importance of subscriptions. With access to exclusive news, newsletters, and reports, Folha maintains its role in Brazilian life, adapting to the digital age while upholding its legacy of delivering in-depth analysis and reporting on critical issues impacting the nation.
