Long Description:"Folha de S. Paulo is a Portuguese language newspaper published in
São Paulo, Brazil. It has the largest circulation in Latin America,
with a daily print run of 1,500,000, and represents the development
of the communication media in Brazil. It was part of many changes
that occurred within Brazilian society after the fall of the
dictatorship in late 1970. With the recovery of press freedom, the
paper became an important channel for public expression. Folha de
S. Paulo had an expressive role in the episode of the impeachment
of President Fernando Collor de Mello in 1992. Just like The New
York Times in the United States, it has a very broad influence on
other states and on other media as well. Folha de S. Paulo presents
a broad selection of news, with many small articles, notes and
illustrated reporting. The paper attempts to give different sides
of the same story and relies on a more visual appeal to present the
news, using explanatory details, graphics, charts, and photographs.
