Our take
Observador is a Portuguese online newspaper, distinguishing itself as the only Portuguese-language newspaper in the country with a clearly defined political orientation, rooted in right-wing liberalism.
Operating exclusively online, with no regular printed edition, Observador is committed to delivering up-to-date information around the clock, ensuring that its readers have continuous access to the latest news. This commitment has positioned Observador as a vital source of news in Portugal.
In its early years, Observador quickly gained traction, reporting 630,000 visitors in its first month. By 2020, this number had surged to 6.79M visitors and 51M pageviews. The newspaper's rapid growth and impact have been recognised with several awards, underscoring Observador's success and continued influence in the Portuguese media landscape.
