About Estadão
Estadão is owned by Grupo Estado (also known as Grupo OESP), a private media conglomerate controlled by the Mesquita family. The group also owns Rádio Eldorado FM, Agência Estado, and OESP Mídia.
Estadão, founded in 1875 as 'A Província de São Paulo', is considered a newspaper of record for Brazil with a long history of independent journalism. It has historically opposed authoritarian regimes, including the Estado Novo dictatorship, and faced censorship. Observers describe its editorial stance as center-right, economically liberal, and liberal conservative. The outlet has recently engaged with controversies regarding judicial censorship, with some sources noting its criticism of actions by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, despite earlier perceived support, leading to accusations of inconsistency. The headline sample reflects a focus on political news and controversies, aligning with a generally conservative perspective.
