Dolores Schwindt, a Brazilian publisher, achieved her family’s 75-yea-old dream in 2000 when she produced a 16-page monthly newspaper, called Vossa Senhoria, measuring just 1 inch by 1.4 inches (2.54 cm x 3.56 cm)– the world’s smallest newspaper. Costing 30p, Vossa Senhoria is available throughout Brazil, with a circulation of 5,000. Dolores who lives in Divinopolis, 532 miles east of Brasilia, also produces another minuscule publication, a paper measuring 1.9 inches by 2.6 inches (4.83 cm x 6.60 cm). Vossa Senhoia was created in 1935 by the printing worker and self-teaching journalist Leônidas Schwindt, who saw the small size as a solution for creating a quality low-cost newspaper.
A single edition of the newspaper Terra Nostra (Azores, Portugal), published on 16 February 2012, measured only 1.8 cm x 2.5 cm.
