Long Description:It is owned by Grupo Estado, which publishes the Jornal da Tarde
and owns the radios Rádio Eldorado AM and FM and the Estado Agency,
largest news agency in Brazil. It is the second largest
metropolitan newspaper in Brazil, only behind Folha de São Paulo.
It is nicknamed the Estadão (lit. "Big State"). The journal was
founded relying on the ideals of republicans on January 4 of 1875,
and was firstly called A Província de São Paulo[1] ("The Province
of São Paulo").
The motto of the newspaper is Estadão, o jornal que pensa ÃO.
"Ão" is a Portuguese suffix that, when added, shows that the thing
one is talking about is a big one (for example Estado means "state"
in Portuguese, so when the "ão" is added, such as in "Estadão", it
literally means "Big State". Therefore the motto of the newspaper
means "Estadão, the newspaper that thinks BIG.""
