Folha de S.Paulo

Folha de S.Paulo also known as simply Folha, is a Brazilian daily newspaper founded in 1921 under the name Folha da Noite and published in São Paulo by the Folha da Manhã company.
Current headquarters of Grupo Folha in São Paulo, where the newspapers that would later become Folha de S.Paulo started being printed in 1950, and to where they moved their newsrooms in 1953.
Protest against the usage of the term. The banner, a cartoon by Carlos Latuff, sarcastically adds a glass and straw to the famous photo of Vladimir Herzog hanged after torture, with the implication that the Folha de S.Paulo is trying to whitewash the realities of the dictatorship that killed him in 1975. It says: "The military dictatorship in Brazil according to Folha de S.Paulo".
Protest against Folha on 7 March 2009, during the ditabranda scandal. The sign reads "Down with the pro-coup media".
