Folha de S.Paulo

Brazilian newspaper

Folha de S.Paulo (sometimes spelled Folha de São Paulo, lit. 'São Paulo Sheet') also known as simply Folha (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfoʎɐ], lit. 'Sheet'), is a Brazilian daily newspaper founded in 1921 under the name Folha da Noite and published in São Paulo by the Folha da Manhã company. The newspaper is the centerpiece for Grupo Folha, a conglomerate that also controls UOL (Universo Online), the leading Internet portal in Brazil; polling institute Datafolha; publishing house Publifolha; book imprint Três Estrelas; printing company Plural; and, in a joint-venture with the Globo group, the business daily Valor, among other enterprises. It has gone through several phases and has targeted different audiences, such as urban middle classes, rural landowners, and the civil society, but political independence has always been one of its editorial cornerstones.
