Following the other\u00a0post concerning Brazil\u2019s most important newspapers, we are going to learn a little more about the country\u2019s top revistas (magazines). The focus will be on three established news magazines being published in the country which have great influence over several aspects of Brazilian culture and society and serve\u00a0as an important fonte de informa\u00e7\u00e3o (source of information).<\/span><\/p>\n

VEJA<\/p>\n

Veja was created in 1968 and it is today the magazine with the largest national circulation (with a print run over a million copies) and the greatest number of\u00a0assinaturas (subscriptions)\u00a0in the country. It is also the biggest weekly publication outside of the U.S. Veja\u2019s editorial line was inspired by the Times magazine and its subjects cover several themes such as world news, science and technology, business, history, celebrities, health, welfare, society, lifestyle, fashion, culture, cinema, religion and more. <\/span><\/p>\n

Veja began as a center-leftist magazine but after the 1990\u2019s it got cada vez mais (increasingly more) inclined to the right. It is nowadays largely associated with the setores de direita da sociedade (right-wing sectors of the society), being more conservative and liberalism-oriented. The magazine has been the target of criticism and protest for their support to parties during presidential elections, even facing several processos judiciais (lawsuits) from parties and individual politicians. <\/span><\/p>\n

Veja is the main flagship from Editora Abril, which is a major publishing and printing company in Latin America, currently publishing other 21 magazines among other businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

CARTA CAPITAL<\/p>\n

Carta Capital was founded in 1994 by the journalist Mino Carta, who was also involved in the creation of Veja.\u00a0The magazine was concebida (conceived) as an alternative to the main publications that dominated the market at the time. Its editorial profile has progressively changed to become what has been called by some “journalistic activism”, for their frank apoio (support) to social causes and leftist parties.<\/p>\n

Carta Capital also has a bigger take on culture featuring articles and opinions on art, history and philosophy. It is also the magazine which features less propagandas (adverstisements) in comparison with the other ones mentioned in this post.\u00a0Its crew is composed by only 11 journalists and althought it has a national circulation, the printing company resposible for it is also considerably modest.<\/p>\n
