Jornal da USP is the institutional newspaper of the University of São Paulo that covers academic, cultural, scientific and institutional news across the São Paulo campus network. The paper reports on research, policy and campus life while interacting with national media such as Folha de S.Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo, O Globo, Veja and international outlets like The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde and El País. It has served as a platform connecting figures from the Brazilian Academy of Letters, Brazilian Scientific Society, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Education and municipal authorities in São Paulo.
The paper traces origins to post-World War II debates involving faculty from the Faculty of Law, Escola Politécnica, Institute of Biomedical Sciences and the Museum of Zoology who exchanged views with counterparts at UFRJ and Unicamp. Early editors engaged with national figures linked to the Getúlio Vargas era, discussions about the Constitution of 1946, and debates surrounding higher education reforms championed by ministers such as Claudio Pinheiro and administrators from the CAPES. During the military regime that followed the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, journalists at the paper navigated censorship related to institutions such as the Brazilian Armed Forces and episodes involving the AI-5 decree; later periods saw expansion alongside the democratic transition and collaborations with investigators at institutions like the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
Editorial decisions are made within a board linked to the Rectorate of the University of São Paulo and include representatives from faculties such as Faculty of Medicine, School of Communications and Arts, Institute of Arts and student bodies including the Centro Acadêmico movements that liaise with unions like the Union of Journalists of São Paulo. The newsroom incorporates editors with training from journalism programs at ECA-USP, collaborations with research groups at CNPq, and internships coordinated with the FAPESP. Governance references include precedents from legal opinions issued by the Supremo Tribunal Federal and administrative norms from the Federal Constitution of Brazil and university statutes.
Coverage spans sections modeled after professional outlets: campus news involving the IME, science features on projects at Butantan Institute, culture pieces referencing the MASP and Pinacoteca, opinion columns by professors from the FEA and legal analyses tied to cases at the Superior Court of Justice. Regular beats include research briefs citing work at Heart Institute (Incor), interviews with Nobel-associated figures connected to Academia Brasileira de Ciências, book reviews from collaborations with the Casa das Rosas and event listings for venues such as the Auditório Ibirapuera. Multimedia efforts have included podcasts with guests from Sérgio Buarque de Holanda scholars, video series produced with the TV Cultura network, and data journalism projects using datasets from IBGE and research centers like the IPEA.
The print edition has been distributed across campuses in São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, São Carlos, Piracicaba and regional units that include connections to Hospital das Clínicas. Digital platforms reach readers in partnership with portals such as USP Notícias and have been cited by national outlets including BBC Brasil, CNN Brasil and Agência Brasil. Audience segments span faculty from the FFLCH, graduate students enrolled with CAPES scholarships, administrative staff, alumni networks like the AAUSP and external researchers at institutions such as the UFPE and UFRGS.
Investigative series have partnered with academic groups from the IEA and collaborators from Procuradoria Federal offices, producing reports on topics that intersected with national inquiries led by entities like the TCU and legal actions before the STF. Projects have examined public health responses referencing the Butantan Institute and Fiocruz, environmental research tied to the Amazon and policy debates involving the Ministério do Meio Ambiente, and archival work with collections from the IAC and the Archive of the University of São Paulo.
Journalists and contributors have received honors from organizations such as the Abraji, prizes from the APCA, academic distinctions conferred by the University of São Paulo and recognition from foundations like FGV and international awards linked to partnerships with PAHO and UNESCO programs.
The newspaper has been criticized in episodes involving editorial decisions debated by faculty at Direito-USP, contested by student movements including DCE-USP, and scrutinized in press disputes with outlets such as Folha de S.Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo. Controversies have touched on censorship allegations from periods overlapping with the 1964 coup, budgetary conflicts involving the Reitoria and legal challenges presented to the STF and administrative tribunals like the Tribunal Regional Federal.
