Portugal has had a long history of cycles of governmental control of the media and media freedom. They have come a long way, and now the media is completely free from any government interference. Reporters without Borders ranked Portugal as the 10th freest media in the world.

With this new freedom, Portugal has had much advancement in their media. However, being isolated on the tip of Western Europe, it has been hard for the country to stay up to speed with the rest of Europe. The future is looking promising though, and I expect them to keep making strides in their media development.
