PublishNews

PublishNews was created on 20 July 2001 by Carlo Carrenho as a daily newsletter for 30 of his friends from the publishing market. In 2009, the editors created their first website. In 2015, the website became a web portal.^[3]

Since 2010, PublishNews compiles a bestseller list.^[3] Differently from journals such as O Estado de S.Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo e O Globo, PublishNews list not only displays the books in order, but also the sum of the sales from all the consulted bookstores.^[4] The sellers send data from the 20 bestsellers from all the categories, but if a book overlaps more than one of them, it is counted only once.^[5] The ranking is published weekly^[6] and it is considered one of the most trustable from its category in Brazil.^[7]
