Changing cities through community journalism: how Mensagem de Lisboa and the two Nunos did it with Narrativas Project
With Catarina Carvalho, Nuno Trigueiros and Nuno Varela
Mensagem from Lisbon has a vision for community journalism, that involves fostering civic participation and belonging in Lisboa urban communities. Through innovative formats, we inform, highlight individuals, and try to have a positive impact. Mensagem de Lisboa has worked with disenfranchised communities, turning media literacy concepts upside down and doing pop up newsrooms where we work with people from those places to tell their own stories. This is a process of empowerment but also a way to tackle news deserts, and promote empathy in a big city.
