O Pasquim

Last updated

O Pasquim was a Brazilian weekly newspaper published in Rio de Janeiro from 1969 to the mid-1970s. [1] [2] It was critical of the military dictatorship and it is considered the founding periodical of Brazil's alternative press. [1] [2]

Contents

The idea for the periodical began in 1968 after a meeting of cartoonist Jaguar with journalists Tarso de Castro and Sérgio Cabral. They were looking for an alternative to substitute Sergio Porto's tabloid A carapuça. The name was Jaguar's idea, inspired in the Italian folk-tale character Pasquino , who, according to the legend, used to write and tell stories in a major public square.

As the time went by, prominent figures such as Walter Campos de Carvalho, Ziraldo, Millôr Fernandes, Prósperi and Fortuna joined the team.

History

O Pasquim was established in 1969. [3] The first edition was published on June 26, 1969. From an initial circulation of twenty thousand copies, the periodical jumped to two hundred thousand copies in the mid-1970s. The paper ceased publication in 1991. [3]

Miscellaneous

The periodical was featured in an exhibition at SESC Ipiranga in 2019. [4]

All of O Pasquim issues were digitalized and can be read on the National Library of Brazil website. [5]
