Artur Portela Filho is a prime example when one notes how much of himself is in the two publications he headed from their laun-ch: Jornal Novo (1975) and Opção (1976-78), the first newspaper and the first news-magazine founded after the overturn of Estado Novo, both privately funded. Irreverent and audacious, Artur Portela (1937–2020) named himself “independent socialist” and used satire and the quality of writing to create two projects which would beco-me unmatched milestones in Portuguese journalism by their manner of committedly reporting on and criticising processes as well as political and military leaders. This paper maps Portela’s influence on the matrixes of Jornal Novo and Opção, and iden-tifies the cross-sectional elements that emanate from the figure of the editor-in-chief.

Por um lado, envolvendo-se nas lutas políticas e principais acontecimentos de então; por outro, sendo alvo de múltiplas e variadas tentativas de controlo de diversas forças. Num período em que a própria imprensa atravessou um processo de profundas transformações, este artigo procura analisá-las e contextualiza-las, refletindo sobre as principais tendências do jornalismo da época.

ple and profound transformations in the
aftermath of the 25 April 1974 revolution
and the overthrow of the longstanding
dictatorship. In the media, immediate

possibility of carrying out the journalists’
role in freedom, but also gradual changes
that occurred in parallel with the evolu-
tion of the revolutionary process itself.
In this article, we analyse those changes,
noting the forthcoming of the “militant-
-journalist” and a new professional in the
making during 1974-1975, in the context
of an unstable legal framework and the

political action – has a clear resemblance
to what occurred in other historic times
of regime change.

The media created political facts and were, themselves, at the centre of some of the most emblematic battles them fought. In this article, we analyze the context of journals and the ways of practicing journalism in the revolution, particularly the case of A Luta, created in 1975. With close ties with Socialist Party, A Luta established unequivocally as advocate for democratic legality as a political route for the future of the Portugal.

Started in August of that year, the so called «24 case» takes place in one of the hottest moments of the Portuguese revolution, in which the attempts of political and ideological control of media increase. We observe, among other things, that the «24 case» falls within a broader context than just of a labor problem: the political struggle that sweeps the country in the years of 19741975.

Apresentar-se-á também, de forma necessariamente sintética, uma leitura das páginas d’O Jornal naquela que é consensualmente considerada a última fase do processo revolucionário português (de 11 de Março a 25 de Novembro de 1975). Conclui-se que O Jornal foi um ator de grande relevância para a compreensão dos acontecimentos de 1975, assumindo uma postura distinta de muitos dos jornais da época. Praticando um jornalismo interpretativo, criativo e dinâmico, este semanário envolveu-se em algumas das principais questões do período, marcando a sua posição (caso da luta pela liberdade de imprensa).

The revolutionary process that followed the dictatorship‟s fall, on the 25th of April 1974, radically altered the media and journalism in Portugal. In this article, we seek to analyze the evolution of the journalists‟ employment situations and the journalistic activities between 1974 and 1975, in an attempt to portray the Portuguese journalist at the time. We observe that a “revolutionary” or “militant” type of journalism emerges, in a period of intense fights for the definition of the type of political system to be implemented in the country. At the same time, several achievements are made in terms of employment rights and conditions, as a result of the fights and claims from workers of the journalistic companies.
