Jornal do Brasil, widely known as JB, is a daily newspaper published by Editora JB in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was founded in 1891 and is the third oldest existent Brazilian paper, after the Diário de Pernambuco and O Estado de S. Paulo.
It was founded by former supporters of the recently-deposed monarchy and sported conservative views in its early decades. Later on, after a deep restructuring carried on in the 1950s, it became a center-left middle-class newspaper. Many important Brazilian writers and journalists eventually worked for Jornal do Brasil, especially after the 1964 coup d'état and the closure of some left-wing newspapers, like Última Hora and Correio da Manhã. Jornal do Brasil was an important opposer of the dictatorship, frequently challenging censorship by replacing censored news with cake recipes, blatant lies or decades-old articles.
