Valor Econômico

Valor Econômico is a newspaper created in a joint-venture formed in 2000 by the Folha and Globo groups - a partnership that was undone in 2016, when the Marinho family (of Grupo Globo) bought the Frias family shares.

The then columnist of Folha de S. Paulo Celso Pinto defined the initial 160 staff of journalists and the guidelines of the newspaper that claims to be “the best and most qualified content of economical journalism in the country”. He left the news staff in 2003 due to health complications. Vera Brandimarte, who already worked in the newspaper since its foundation as associate director, took over the position.

Valor Econômico quickly became leader in the print segment on economy, finances and business. The daily newspaper however still has a small market penetration. Valor has an average circulation of 60,389 copies. The major revenue model for Valor is the publication of the balance sheets of different companies in their print newspapers.
