What is PÚBLICO Brasil?
THE PUBLIC Brazil is an editorial project created by PUBLIC together with a group of experienced Brazilian journalists living in Portugal.
Who is this project aimed at?
This editorial space is especially focused on community of Brazilians who live in Portugal and also Brazilians who want to come and live in Portugal, but their journalism is open to anyone who wants to read it.
Why was PÚBLICO Brasil created?
Because this community of Brazilians living in Portugal is looking for a specific type of information that can help them make decisions about their integration in a new country and that they had difficulty finding concentrated in an information organization.
Examples of this are news about how the education system in Portugal or about how the tax payment system for immigrants. These regimes take on different particularities for those who come from abroad and want to start a life in Portugal which, in most cases, are not covered in PÚBLICO news, as it is aimed at the Portuguese community.
THE dimension of the community of Brazilians living in Portugal reinforces the need to have their own voice, a space for reflection and questioning that reflects their interests and this is also what PÚBLICO Brasil aims to be.
What is the difference between news from PÚBLICO Brasil and international news about Brazil from PÚBLICO?
The first are not news about Brazil, but about the lives of Brazilians in Portugal. We believe that Brazilians living in Portugal will continue to seek out the media outlets they have been looking for up until now to find out news about their country. PÚBLICO Brasil’s news is about your life in Portugal.
What do PÚBLICO Brasil news talk about?
We organize our content by the most popular themes. As examples of topics covered, we have: the rules for living legally in Portugal, a topic included in the Immigration section; housing prices, which we will cover in the Economy section; and the cultural agenda for the end of the week, our first PÚBLICO Brazil Newsletterwhich includes suggestions in various locations across the country and which can be subscribed here.
We have also created spaces for some of the most prominent personalities in this community to tell their stories, for example through podcast PÚBLICO Brasiland a section called How to Do It and which aims to explain important aspects in more detail, such as, for example, applying for the European Health Card.
Why did we decide to write in Portuguese in the variant used in Brazil?
Because this news is aimed at those who write and read in this variant. This topic motivated an internal debate and we considered that the best way to reach this community was to offer a product that was immediately assimilable. For this reason, we created a symbol (a br in blue) that identifies the news written by PÚBLICO Brazil team when these are published and appear in the website of the PUBLIC. Furthermore, all news produced by the PÚBLICO Brasil team has a note at the beginning of the text stating that it is written in the variant of Portuguese used in Brazil.
Is there also news from PÚBLICO in PÚBLICO Brasil?
Yes, whenever it is a topic that may be of interest to the life of this community in Portugal, it can also be published there. That’s why, entering the app of PÚBLICO Brasil or websiteyou may find news in both Portuguese standards — the one used in Portugal and the one used in Brazil.
