when the print press in rio de janeiro started on may 13th, 1808  the 'gazeta do rio' was considered the first publication.

it published news about the european nature, official documents, the virtues of the royal family, points in favor of them and their origins - from 1822 until 1840 typographies, pamphlets and newspapers were being printed.

while some newspapers were growing successfully and lived on advertising, others, created and maintained by militants did not have an organization, and therefore, lasted just a few months.

with the arrival of the military to power in 1964, brazil reached a new cycle of authoritarianism - there was a great support on the part of brazilian newspapers at first.
