Mensagem is a community journalism local media based at A Brasileira Café in Chiado district, downtown Lisbon (Portugal).
It started in 2023. From the beginning Mensagem aimed at telling the small and civic stories of big metropolis like Lisbon – Portugal’s capita. It is working to bringing people together and making them feel part of a community in a big city like Lisboa, especially using the power of journalism and storytelling as a tool to promote knowledge and thus enhance empathy. No story is small enough for us and we go where nobody else goes. We practice a constructive approach to the city, trying to turn our members not civic agents, and not news victims.
