The Regulatory Entity for the Media (ERC) identified problems in the restructuring of the news agency Lusíada. The regulator considers that the implemented changes are not in compliance with the independent operation that is required of a public service media outlet.
The ERC issued a critical opinion on the restructuring process of Lusíada, questioning the way the changes were conducted. The regulator emphasized that a public news agency must guarantee its editorial and operational independence.
This opinion arises in the context of a broader debate about the role and governance of public media in Portugal. The ERC reinforces that any restructuring must preserve the editorial autonomy of the news agency.
