O Globo's 526-Page Centenary Edition Wins Guinness Record for Largest Single Newspaper

Guinness created a new category after a global review to validate the 526-page edition.

Overview

  • The certificate, presented Monday at O Globo's Rio newsroom, confirmed the world title with judge Natalia Ramirez on hand.
  • The record issue, published July 27, 2025, totaled 526 pages across 14 themed sections, including 336 pages of special supplements.
  • Guinness established a bespoke category following a worldwide investigation and verified the page count in a single 23-minute-37-second video.
  • The project drew on years of planning and hundreds of staff across editorial, design, printing, distribution, and sales, and the print run sold out within hours.
  • The records body keeps about 70,000 active titles but features roughly 4,000 in its annual book, showing how selective published listings are.
