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]

The newspaper is owned by Global Notícias Media Group (formerly Controlinveste), which also owns Diário de Notícias and the private radio station TSF.[11]
