News Deserts Europe 2025: Portugal report

This study, in addition to updating the data for the year 2022, sets out to analyse the changes that have taken place in the national information landscape. The aim is to identify which municipalities have become part of the so-called news deserts, which ones are no longer part of them, and which ones are currently under threat due to a shortage of media outlets. This study records the municipalities where non-specialised journalistic media outlets are based, as well as those where such outlets are absent. The main innovation in this edition is the introduction of a regional perspective, using NUTS III territorial division, allowing for a more detailed analysis of local dynamics.
