| Resumo: | The subprime crisis from 2007 and the availability of free news on the Internet led to a drastic decrease of investigative journalism in Portugal. Crowdfunding could be na alternative to traditional models of financing investigative journalism. The presente paper aims to analyze the crowdfunding for financing investigative journalism in that country. The methodology used is exploratory.

We suggest the future inclusion of courses in economics and entrepreneurship in the academic degrees in Portugal to overcome this problem. |
