The story
JN was founded in Porto and was first published on 21 June 1888. It was one of two Portuguese newspapers published in Angola during the colonial rule. The other was Diário Popular. 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. Then the paper and Diário de Notícias were sold to the Lusomundo group. In 2005 the Controlinveste group bought papers. Both papers are now owned by Global Media Group, which was named Controlinveste Media until January 2015.
In 1995 JN started its online version, being one of the first two Portuguese newspapers in this regard. 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 Domingos de Andrade.
The newspaper is owned by Global Notícias Media Group (formerly Controlinveste), which also owns Diário de Notícias and the private radio station TSF.
