jornais

Jornais are Portuguese-language newspapers, a significant part of the media landscape in Portugal and communities around the world that speak Portuguese. The term "jornal" is the Portuguese word for newspaper, and "jornais" is the plural form.

In Portugal, jornais have a long history dating back to the 19th century. The first newspaper in Portugal, "O Correio da Bahia," was published in 1788. However, the modern concept of a jornal as we know it today began to emerge in the late 19th century. Many jornais were established during this period, with some of the most notable ones being "O Século" and "O Dia."

In Brazil, jornais have a similar history, with the first newspaper, "Gazeta de Notícias," being published in 1808. The Brazilian jornal industry experienced significant growth during the 20th century, with newspapers such as "Folha de S.Paulo" and "O Estado de S. Paulo" becoming major players in the media landscape.

Jornais typically cover news, politics, and current events, as well as feature articles on culture, sports, and entertainment. Many jornais are published daily, while others may be published weekly or at other intervals. Some jornais focus on specific topics, such as sports or finance, while others attempt to provide a more general overview of current events.

In recent years, the journal industry has faced challenges due to changing consumer habits and the rise of digital media. Many jornais have adapted to these changes by launching online editions and expanding their digital presence.
