| Lonely Planet |
Diário
de Notícias |
| Comprehensive,
well-researched guide to Portugal that goes into sufficient depth to make it a useful
complement to the other, even more tourism-oriented sites listed below. |
Daily newspaper with a full range of national and international news
and weekly online supplements. The 'front page' allows you to scan the major stories
in a minute ('O DN num minuto'). |
| Portugal InSite |
Expresso
Online |
| Portugal's
official tourism website, and therefore one which shows superior production values to the
typical Portuguese site. |
Daily newspaper focussing on political and economic themes.
Also publishes weekly supplement (online, on Saturdays) which includes an 'advertising'
section. |
| Portugal-Live.net |
Fábrica
de Conteúdos |
| Website
aimed at tourists planning to visit Portugal... so principally of use during the lunch
hour, clearly. |
Very readable site with (for a Portuguese website at least) superior
design. Includes 'Media' section. |
| The Portugal News |
Jornal de
Notícias |
| Portugal's
oldest English-language newspaper, established for over 20 years, the Portugal News'
website design is basic, but it offers weekly updates on news stories from Portugal and
further afar (you have to click through to them). |
Not great in terms of design and 'light' on gripping stories, the
'JN' nevertheless offers an insight into the news of the day, especially if it's
political. |
| Welcome
to Portugal |
Publico.pt |
| Information
aimed at those interested in Portugal in terms of travel & tourism, trade and
investment. Well produced and informative, the site, of course, accentuates the
positive but also informs. |
'Approachable' national daily offering a full range of sections,
including Economy and Media (use the drop-down menu on the left to find them). Also
allows you to search back (for free) over a 7-day archive. |
Marketing and advertising sites
.............................................................. |
|
| Briefing |
|
| Portuguese
advertising/media websites have been disappearing over the past year or so, but Briefing,
a relative newcomer, offers weekly insight into the world of Portugal's advertisers and
marketers (beware, the site is sometimes slow to load). |
|
| Meios
& Publicidade |
|
| The
online companion to the weekly advertising and media print title. Daily news stories
which, though short, are informative. Click on the image of the magazine cover to
see fuller content from the week's issue. |
|
| O Portal do Marketing |
|
| Updated
from time to time, this site offers interviews and longer features alongside a (sparse)
selection of news items 'borrowed' from other media titles. |
