The Congress of Journalists, which ends this Sunday in Lisbon.
The person in charge reported that among the main problems is the disrespect of journalists for the incompatibility of the profession (journalists are prohibited from advertising products, marketing, consulting, etc.), and there have also been many cases of administrative offenses and even revocation of licenses (in addition to refusal of ownership and non-renewal) , but which are unknown because they usually go to trial and can only be disclosed after the trial is over.
