Abstract

Current young Portuguese democracy has had a troubled life on the media. All this period, from April 1974 until now, has been marked by a strong tension between the media system and political system. It seems that the latter has gained some ascendancy over the first, which is nevertheless worrying. This paper is more about explaining the facts, events and contexts of this tense relationship, looking for to reverse this disturbing trend and, consequently, to a religitimized media system.
