JORNAL "I" - Publisher in Portugal Picks a Fine Time to Start a Newspaper - Eric Pfanner (NYTimes.com) - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
"It would be hard to find a less promising country in which to start a newspaper than Portugal. Not only are readers defecting to the Internet, as they are elsewhere, but relatively few people ever picked up a paper to begin with. And print advertising has plunged by more than 40 percent this year. Yet while newspapers elsewhere are shutting down or grappling with an uncertain future, Portugal recently got a new one, called i, short for informação, or information" - Miguel Caetano
AQUI está a razão porque não há empregos para jornalistas em Portugal: o povo é inculto. "But over all, Portugal has one of the lowest rates of newspaper sales in the developed world, with only around 60 papers sold for every 1,000 inhabitants, said José-Manuel Nobre-Correia, a professor at the Free University of Brussels who follows the Portuguese media business. “For a country with a population of 10 million, these kinds of numbers are ridiculous,” he said." - Miguel Caetano
"The growth of newspaper Web sites has also been held back in Portugal by an underdeveloped market for Internet advertising." - Miguel Caetano
