The daily online edition of Expresso is available

Expresso, a weekly newspaper, which is published on Saturday, has now a daily online version, which is posted, from monday to friday, at 6 p.m.

Ricardo Costa, director of Expresso, considers the change as a “digital shift”, in line with what has happened in recent years in Portuguese media. For the director of the newspaper, the new edition is about the “reading of the events of the day, done by the newsroom of Expresso with analysis and interpretation”. This is a pioneer strategy in Portugal and it’s already used in foreign newspapers such as La Repubblica, El Mundo and Globo.
