SYNOPSIS
In this series from Canal Brasil, we follow the story of Paloma Fernandes, a correspondent for Folha de São Paulo in Paris who returns to Brazil in January 1993. Dr. Félix, owner of Grupo Folha, appoints her to run one of the company’s newspapers, the sensationalist Notícias Populares. Published from 1963 to 2001, the paper featured nude women, supernatural creatures, and graphic images of contemporary crimes. At the time, it was widely criticized within journalistic circles, accused of exaggerating or even fabricating stories while upholding the slogan “nothing but the truth.” Paloma must rely on her wit and resilience to manage the newsroom and cover notorious cases such as the “Baby Devil,” the “Clown Gang,” and a prostitutes’ uprising.
