Editora Abril[1] is a major Brazilian publisher and printing company and one of the biggest media holdings in Latin America.[2] The company was founded in 1950 by Victor Civita in São Paulo and is now part of Grupo Abril.[2]
Overview
Civita had initially founded his publisher as Editora Primavera, publishing an unsuccessful comic magazine named in Brazil Raio Vermelho.[3] The following year, Civita changed its name to Abril - [4] referencing the month in which spring begins in the northern hemisphere -- and published its first title, Donald Duck, in Brazil called Pato Donald, which continues to run to this date.[5] Abril's first magazine lead Civita to claim "It all started with a duck", parodying Walt Disney's declaration that "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by Mickey Mouse."
Under its name it publishes titles like AnaMaria, Tititi, Minha Novela, Sou+Eu!, Quatro Rodas, .
It also owns the Brazilian MTV and cable company Abril Grafica. In May 2006, Naspers acquired a 30% interest in Editora Abril.[5]
