Some of these were afterwards published in a book entitled Cartas de Inglaterra.

Before the Carnation Revolution Diário de Notícias belonged to the Empresa Nacional de Publicidade, a propaganda arm of the dictatorship. Following the Carnation Revolution, the paper remained nationalized until the early 1990s.{{cite web|author=Helena Sousa|title=Portuguese Media: New Forms of Concentration|url=http://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/bitstream/1822/1620/1/hsousa_IAMCRCoreia_1994.pdf|work=University of Minho|access-date=24 January 2015|format=Conference paper|date=1994}} Then the paper and Jornal de Notícias were sold to the Lusomundo group.{{cite news|title=Battle for Media Assets Heats Up As BPI-Cofina Raises Bid for Investec|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB9362702196164849|access-date=11 April 2015|work=The Wall Street Journal|date=2 September 1999|location=Lisbon}} In 2005 the Controlinveste group bought the papers.{{cite journal|author2=Elsa Costa e Silva|author1=Helena Sousa|title=Keeping up Appearances|journal=The International Communication Gazette|date=2009|volume=71|issue=1–2|pages=89–100 |doi=10.1177/1748048508097933|hdl=1822/29886|s2cid=145600148 |url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1748048508097933|hdl-access=free}} Both papers are now owned by Angolan media conglomerate Global Media Group (formerly Controlinveste Media).{{cite web|title=Portuguese Media|url=https://www.bpiequity.bpi.pt/others/PDF.aspx?id=49681|work=BPI Equity|access-date=2 February 2015|date=5 March 2014}}{{cite encyclopedia|author=Anabela Carvalho|title=Portugal: Media System|url=https://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/bitstream/1822/27578/1/Carvalho-Portugal-Media%20System.pdf|encyclopedia=The International Encyclopedia of Communication|date=2010}}

Diário de Notícias is published in tabloid format. Music critic {{ill|Joaquim de Seabra Pessoa|pt}}, father of poet Fernando Pessoa, worked for the paper. In 2018 Diário de Notícias became a weekly newspaper published on Saturdays.

The paper is considered a newspaper of record for Portugal.{{cite book | title=Historical Dictionary of Portugal | edition=3rd | page=189 | publisher=The Scarecrow Press | date=2010 | first1=Douglas L. |last1=Wheeler | first2=Walter C.

In September 2020, the Global Media Group reached an agreement with Grupo BEL, owned by businessman Marco Galinha, for the latter to become a shareholder in the company. Grupo BEL was founded in 2001 by Marco Galinha and is active in various sectors, including the vending machine and aeronautics industries. The group entered the media sector in 2018 through Jornal Económico. Marco Galinha, originally from Rio Maior, serves as the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Grupo BEL, which he founded in 2001. In February 2021, Marco Galinha was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of Global Media Group.{{Cite web |title=Marco Galinha é o novo presidente da Global Media Group |url=https://www.jn.pt/artes/media/marco-galinha-e-o-novo-presidente-da-global-media-group-13362301.html/ |access-date=2024-08-08 |website=Jornal de Notícias |language=pt}}

At the end of 2023, Grupo BEL sold the majority of its shares in the subsidiary Páginas Civilizadas, Lda., which held a majority stake in Global Notícias – Media Group, S.A. With this transaction, the management of Global Media Group (GMG) was taken over by a new executive administration, and Marco Galinha, the founder and CEO of Grupo BEL, stepped down from his role as Chairman of the Executive Committee of GMG.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-30 |title=Venda do JN, TSF e O Jogo finalmente concretizada, fundo de investimento das Bahamas saiu do capital da Global Media |url=https://expresso.pt/economia/media/2024-07-30-venda-do-jn-tsf-e-o-jogo-finalmente-concretizada-fundo-de-investimento-das-bahamas-saiu-do-capital-da-global-media-8d836a15 |access-date=2024-08-08 |website=Expresso |language=pt}}
