O INDEPENDENTE GOES OUT OF BUSINESS

This Friday, O INDEPENDENTE, the weekly newspaper in Lisbon published its last issue.

Founded in May 1988 by Miguel Esteves Cardoso, who became its first editor, and Paulo Portas, who succeeded him in 1990 and served until 1995, when he left to run for office as a conservative politician.

Unfortunately, I have the feeling that it will not be the last casualty in the Portuguese newspaper market.
