Launched on January 25, 2003, on the World Social Forum of 2003[2] in Porto Alegre by social movement organizations like the Landless Workers' Movement, Via Campesina, and Pastoral Care Social Commission, it circulated for more than ten years with a national weekly print version.

The newspaper, of national circulation, gathers left-wing journalists, writers, commentators, and other national and international intellectuals, who joined to form Brasil de Fato after they realized the need to a democratization of the press. It intends the debate of ideas and the analysis of facts from the standpoint of the need for social change in the country.
