History and profile

edit

Público was first published on 5 March 1990.[2][3][4] The paper was founded by Sonae[5] and is owned by the Sonae group.[6] In 1992 Italian media company Repubblica International Holding SA, a subsidiary of Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso, acquired 16.75% of the paper.[7]

Público is published in tabloid format[8] and has its headquarters in Lisbon.[9] The paper is known as a publication of the French school with extensive texts and few illustrations. Its first editor-in-chief was Vicente Jorge Silva, formerly sub-editor-in-chief at Expresso. José Manuel Fernandes also served as the editor-in-chief of the paper. Since 2009 Bárbara Reis has served as the editor-in-chief.[8]

Público is one of the first Portuguese mainstream newspapers to have an online edition which was started in 1995.[10] Its online edition was free and included almost all the articles from the print edition, except for the pictures. In 2005 it changed from a fully free-access to a subscription model. In 2006, the HTML version of the current day's edition became free again, while the other contents, such as the PDF version (only for subscribers), enhanced HTML version and access to past editions, are still subject to registration and subscription. The online edition of Público was named as Europe's online-medium of the year in 2013.[11]

The paper was awarded the European Newspaper of the Year in the category of nationwide newspapers by European Newspapers Congress in 2014.[12] The current editorial line is outspokenly pro-europeanist.[13]

The paper is considered as a newspaper of record for Portugal (along with Diário de Notícias).[14][15][16]
