History
O Heraldo was established as the first daily Portuguese newspaper on 21 May 1900 by Aleixo Clemente Messias Gomes in Goa.[2] After a ten-year period in Lisbon, Messias Gomes undertook major expansions and modernisations of the paper's operations in 1919.[3] It was later transformed into an English daily in 1983,[4] by which time it had become the longest-running Portuguese-language newspaper outside of Portugal and Brazil.[5]
The newspaper currently has two supplements – the daily four-page Herald Café, which is published everyday except Monday, and the weekly four-page Herald Review, which accompanies the paper on Sunday.[citation needed]
