Correio do Povo

Correio do Povo (The People's Mail) is a Brazilian daily newspaper printed in the city of Porto Alegre, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Founded by Francisco Antônio Vieira Caldas Junior, it arose as a politically independent but democracy defending newspaper.

In 1935, Breno Alcaraz Caldas (1910–1986), Francisco Antônio's grandson, assumed control of the paper, and remained for more than half a century in that position.

In March 2007, Correio do Povo was sold to Edir Macedo, owner of the media conglomerate Grupo Record.

[1] Daily, Correio do Povo is transmitted by satellite to other printing presses located in the cities of Carazinho and São Sepé in Rio Grande do Sul, in order to expedite newspaper circulation throughout the state.
