The president of the Regulatory Entity for Social Communication (ERC) stated today in parliament that a balanced and agile model is possible for the Lusa news agency. This model would ensure a clear separation between political power, company management, and editorial independence. The ERC believes maintaining this distance is crucial for the agency's integrity. This statement comes as discussions continue regarding the future governance of Lusa, a key news provider in Portugal. The aim is to create a structure that safeguards the agency from undue influence. The ERC proposes a framework allowing Lusa to operate efficiently while upholding journalistic standards and resisting external pressures. The entity hopes this model will serve as a standard for other media organizations in Portugal.
