Matinal emerged in 2019 from the union between Matinal News (a daily curated newsletter with the main news and exclusive investigative reports on Porto Alegre and RS), the digital magazine Parêntese (founded by professor Luís Augusto Fischer and focused on interviews, essays, reviews, and chronicles), and the website rogerlerina.com (edited by journalist Roger Lerina, with art and culture news, articles, reviews, and an accurate cultural agenda for Porto Alegre and the region).

Matinal's outlets produce and deliver, via newsletters for subscribers, exclusive local content on social and urban development, the environment, politics, culture, and identity. The content is known for its context, balance, and independence, offering a critical approach to the facts.

With a focus on these key areas, Matinal aims to provide readers with in-depth and reliable information that reflects the complexities of local issues and developments in Porto Alegre and beyond.
