Lisboa Para Pessoas is a community-based media outlet publishing information and stories of interest for Lisbon's citizens from their perspective: their interests and concerns. The media outlet, which publishes stories almost daily, is run by only one person: its founder.
While other journalistic websites about Lisbon focus on its cultural or political life, founder Mário Rui André wanted Lisboa Para Pessoas to have a more pragmatic approach to the subjects that affect peoples' lives: sustainability, mobility, public spaces and housing.
The outlet has a social media platform on Discord, where 400 members chat with each other regularly about housing prices, pollution and the environment, public transportation and local political meetings. Prompted by those discussions, the community of Lisboa Para Pessoas has even developed a mobile app to deal with an issue regarding public transportation schedules.
Lisboa Para Pessoas reaches more than 600,000 visits annually. In early 2022, it raised more than 10,000 euros through a crowdfunding campaign, the highest amount ever collected by crowdfunding for a local journalism project in Portugal, according to them.
