About me
Catarina Carvalho is the editor of Mensagem de Lisboa, a community media in the Portuguese city of Lisbon. She founded Mensagem after several years in the traditional press namely as executive editor of the historic Diário de Notícias. She pivoted toward a more community-centric approach, aiming to move journalism away from distant "official" narratives and back to the streets and people of Lisbon, proving that the nuanced, human stories of city neighborhoods are just as vital to the democratic fabric as national headlines.
