Diário Popular was a daily newspaper published in Lisbon, Portugal, between 1942 and 1990.[1]

History and profile

[edit]

Diário Popular was first published on 22 September 1942.[2][3] Its headquarters was in Lisbon.[2][4] It was one of two Portuguese newspapers published in Angola during the colonial rule.[5] The other was Jornal de Notícias.[5] In the 1960s Diário Popular was acquired by the Balsemão family.[6]

Diário Popular was the organizer of the first journalism program in Portugal which was held in 1966.[7] In the late 1960s the paper was acquired by the Quina group, a family company.[6] In 1971 it was one of two Portuguese best-selling newspapers.[2]

Diário Popular belonged to the Banco Borges and Irmão, a bank, before the Carnation revolution.[2][8] The paper was nationalized following the revolution in 1974 along with other private dailies and publications.[6][9] It began to adopt a communist stance after its acquisition by the communists in October 1975.[6][10] In May 1978 the paper had a left-wing political stance.[6]

The paper sold 73,000 copies in October 1975 and 66,000 copies in May 1978.[6]

Diário Popular was privatized in 1989 and was acquired by a company, Projectos e Estudos de Imprensa (PEI), which also became the owner of the sports paper Record.[4] The company was headed by Pedro Santana Lopes, a member of the Social Democratic Party.[4] Diário Popular ceased publication in 1990.[9]
