Resumen
FONSECA, Ana Maria; DIZ, Henrique Morais y DOS-SANTOS, Maria José Palma Lampreia. Crowdfunding as a Way to Finance Investigative Journalism in Portugal. Palabra Clave [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.3, pp.893-918. ISSN 0122-8285. https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2016.19.3.9.
The article offers an analysis of crowdfunding applied to investigative journalism as an alternative to traditional models for funding journalism in Portugal. The primary objective is to understand and suggest the potential to develop crowdfunding for that purpose. Based on empirical research, crowdfunding is contextualized, the causes and consequences of the pronounced decline in Portuguese investigative journalism and the impact this has are analyzed, and the possibility of a Portuguese platform dedicated to receive journalistic projects is examined using the case study method. Essentially, the results highlight the still nascent entrepreneurial capacity of journalists in Portugal and the need for future curricula for higher education in Portugal to include subjects on economics and entrepreneurship as part of academic training for journalists at the undergraduate, master's and doctorate levels, so as to increase the entrepreneurial potential of today's journalists and to advance investigative journalism.
