BAPTISTA, Carla  e  SILVA, Marisa Torres da. Media diversity in Portugal: political framework and current challenges. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.31, pp.11-28. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_31_1.

This article addresses the current “state of the art” in Portuguese media diversity policy, focusing on the social inclusiveness domain within public service media. The indicators assess regulatory and policy safeguards for community media, access to media by minorities, local and regional communities, women and people with disabilities, as well as the country's media literacy environment. Although the majority of these indicators have legal safeguards or benefit from specific policies, we concluded there is still considerable work to be done, particularly in the realms of media literacy and the representation of minority groups and women in the media. This article results from an on-going research, gathering data and literature review from the following projects: Media Pluralism Monitor (MPM) project, implemented by the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (CMPF) at the European University Institute and funded by the European Commission; and DIVinTV - Public Television and Cultural Diversity in Portugal, funded by FCT.

Palavras-chave : Media diversity; Portugal; public service media; local media; gender; minorities; media literacy.
