Founded after Angola gained independence in November 1975, Jornal de Angola is the country’s only daily printed newspaper. State-operated through its publishing company Edições Novembro — formerly known as Empresa Gráfica de Angola — the outlet was nationalized in 1976 under Law No. 51/76. As reported by the BBC, the publication rarely publishes editorial content critical of the government. In 1992, early in his career, anti-corruption activist Rafael Marques de Morais worked as a journalist for the newspaper until he was dismissed following his critique of President José Eduardo dos Santos.
