Terra Nostra: The world's smallest newspaper

For many, a day without a newspaper is a day wasted. Every morning, many people across the globe digest all the news that's fit to print, as they read their morning newspaper as a choice over breakfast. Some carry their newspaper along with them or on their commute to work, while some read it while doing potty. And some people just exist without knowing what’s happening in the world.

On 20 February Terra Nostra published the world’s smallest newspaper that has been recognized by the Guinness Book of Records. It weighed one gram and measured 350 cm x 500 cm (11 ft 5.79 in x 16 ft 4.85 in) made by Magyar Lapkiadók Egyesülete at the Press Festival 2007 in Budapest, Hungary.

It was printed in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel island, in the Azores. The special edition of the Terra Nostra was issued on the Social Justice World Day. This newspaper should be read with a magnifying glass as it very small for the human eye to focus.

Managing director José Ernesto Chaves Rezendes said that the company will donate the profits they earn to the Portuguese Disabled Association. The association, in turn, will make it possible for a literary work by the vision-impaired author Francisco Quarta to be published.
