Edgar Silva and Élvio Passos released a book that analyzes the newspaper "Portugal Democrático", created by Portuguese exiles in Brazil in 1956. The work recovers this periodical as an example of "resistance journalism" in fighting the Estado Novo.
The newspaper emerged in the context of Portuguese political exile, functioning as a platform for information and opposition to the authoritarian regime that governed Portugal at the time. The authors consider that the experience of this communication vehicle remains relevant in the face of current challenges.
Edgar Silva and Élvio Passos argue that the concept of "resistance journalism" continues to be relevant today, especially in the face of disinformation and threats to democracy. The book proposes a reflection on the role of journalism in defending democratic values.
