Abstract
espanolLa crisis de alto riesgo a partir de 2007 y la disponibilidad de noticias gratuitas en Internet llevaron a una disminucion drastica del periodismo de investigacion en Portugal. El crowdfunding podria ser una alternativa a los modelos tradicionales de financiamiento del periodismo de investigacion. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el uso del crowdfunding para financiar el periodismo de investigacion en ese pais. La metodologia utilizada es exploratoria. Los principales resultados confirman las bajas habilidades empresariales de los periodistas. Sugerimos la inclusion futura de disciplinas en economia y emprendimiento en los grados academicos en Portugal para superar este problema. EnglishThe 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 an alternative to traditional models of financing investigative journalism. The present paper aims to analyze the crowdfunding for financing investigative journalism in that country. The methodology used is exploratory. The main results confirm the low entrepreneurial skills of journalists. We suggest the future inclusion of courses in economics and entrepreneurship in the academic degrees in Portugal to overcome this problem.
