The Portugal News – Now out on Saturdays

BY BRENDAN DE BEER (Taken from The Portugal News)

“Following the unexpected closure of our printers in Loures just outside Lisbon, The Portugal News has now shifted operations to Oporto, where we are sure the quality of print will be maintained.

Due to the move north and the time constraints involved, The Portugal News has decided to publish on Saturdays, which incidentally is our existing publication date, but we decided a few years ago to bring it forward.

Due to this change, newspapers will, starting next week, now be delivered in Lisbon on Friday evenings and in the Algarve in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Numerous printers approached The Portugal News in the aftermath of our printer’s demise, but most proved incapable of printing a newspaper with an audited circulation of over 20,000 newspapers.

This is mostly due to the fact that unlike The Portugal News, most newspapers have made significant cuts in their circulation in order to keep their heads above water. Subsequently, printers have been forced to follow suit, and as such, the best option open to The Portugal News at this juncture proved to be a printer in Oporto which prints two other large daily newspapers. ”

Amovate will contact our supplier, to clarify when we can expect delivery in future.
