First Portuguese Newspaper

Gazeta da Restauração
The first issue of the "Gazette in which the New Notices came from Various Parts" - which was to be known as the Gazette of the Restoration.

First Publication:
Published in November 1641 and circulated on December 3 of the same year . It had 12 pages.

Draft
The responsibility of drafting was granted Manuel de Galhegos by real privilege. 

Cherished
The Gazeta da Restauração was cherished by D. João IV and his supporters who saw the period as "an excellent propaganda instrument" to legitimize the new power and a way of denigrating the deeds of the Spaniards.

Typographic
This first edition had the typographic mark of the Office of Lourenço de Anveres (Lourenço de Antwerp) (1599 - 1679) headquartered in Lisbon .

The following eight publications were printed in the printing of Dominic Lopes Rosa .

9th Edition
With the ninth edition of the gazette , in July 1642, the publication of this newspaper was published, which was published with the dimension of 20cm x 14 cm.

Content

Gazeta, in which they report the new all, that hears in this court, and that they came from several parts.

Abstract
Although it can not reduce the role of news to advertising the restoration of independence of Portugal periodic, after 60 years under the dual with Castile (1580-1640) monarchy, and the new ruling house, the House of Bragança, the fact remains that symbolically, their writers struggled to legitimize in the eyes of readers acclaim D. John IV as king of Portugal. The advertising of the restoration of independence occurs directly (for example, through the praise for John IV) or indirectly (for example, through the lowering of Castile, the king and his allies and the accentuation of its alleged perfidy).

Perished
Although for the Portuguese XVII century we must reduce the impact of the said Gazeta due to the illiteracy of the population and the value charged by the - we can not yet measure the volume of monthly impressions - we will bear in mind that the journal was published for six years (between the 1641 and 1647), with the endorsement of the Crown of Bragança and that therefore had importance within that society.
