The Correio da História stands out for its positivity, demand and quality, with an emphasis on cultural information.
We are a family owned and operated business.
It is a 12-page paper-based publication that also makes daily online publications.
Because modern journalism requires more than a simple description of the facts or the transcription of statements and press releases, also implying a critical capacity and the obligation to be useful to readers, “Correio da História” does not practice biased or factional journalism. , but informs and sensitively seeks to bring to its pages human cases reported with dignity and elegance from the past, present and future, giving the floor to the citizens of Guimarães - from the illustrious chronicler to the anonymous hero.
We reject an anodyne journalism and intend to implant a demanding editorial culture that is attentive to innovation, so as not to disappoint the most critical readers, always with a very strong sense of social and cultural responsibility, upon which the sacred principles of press freedom are built.
In no case will the accuracy of the information be sacrificed in the face of other criteria, in an editorial conception that corresponds to a double requirement, of quality and diversity, with different areas of information and programming times.
In view of the channel's cultural trend, the news component will address relevant incidents and investigations from the past, but inevitably focus on the future, keeping the publication as current as possible, from an informative point of view.
The human factor is essential for us in information that we want to live and that is not limited to a discolored repository of events and situations. Nevertheless, the accessory details that intervene in the humanized description of a fact must not lose sight of the essential.
The power of journalism has effective legitimacy only if it is not to be confused with any other, being certain that journalistic work, like artistic or scientific work, constitutes an end in itself. The “Correio da História” is not the messenger of an instrumental truth with political, social, economic or cultural objectives. Respecting the golden rules of technique and deontology, the greater your credibility with the readers and fellow citizens you serve, and with whom you assume your primary commitment.
