A new study by Professor Felisbela Lopes of the University of Minho reveals that Portuguese journalists face a worsening landscape compared to a decade ago. The research, based on a survey of 100 professionals, identifies the financial crisis of media groups, job insecurity, and a crisis of identity as the primary threats to the industry. The findings highlight a profession struggling with reduced resources, declining public trust, and the blurring lines between journalism and content creation, prompting calls for more robust public support and a re-evaluation of professional regulation.
