Jornal de Notícias (JN) (meaning Journal News in English) 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][3] It was one of two Portuguese newspapers published in Angola during the colonial rule.[4] The other was Diário Popular.[4] 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.[5] Then the paper and Diário de Notícias were sold to the Lusomundo group.[5][6] Both papers are now owned by Global Media Group, which was named Controlinvesta 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 Manuel Tavares.

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.[10] The circulation of the paper was 102,000 copies in 2003, making it the second best selling newspaper in the country.[11]

Its circulation was 100,188 copies in 2005.[12] It was the second best-selling newspaper in Portugal with a circulation of 92,000 copies in 2007.[13] Between September and October 2013 the circulation of the paper was 65,403 copies.[7]
