LIACOM’s Journalism Trends Laboratory has launched Diário LX, a multiplatform and transmedia project that aims to identify and use innovative languages and technologies to communicate information while preserving the principles of rigorous, pluralistic and impartial journalism.

Developed within the activities of the laboratory dedicated to the study of emerging trends in journalism, Diário LX positions itself as a space for experimentation, reflection and content production, aligned with LIACOM’s mission to promote applied, laboratory-based research that responds to contemporary communication challenges.

The project brings together LIACOM researchers Fátima Lopes Cardoso (Director and Editor of the Lisboa, Cidade Aberta section), Paulo Moura (International Editor), Vera Moutinho (Society and Environment Editor), Assunção Duarte (Infographics Editor), and Maria José Mata (Sports Editor). The initiative also includes the participation of Isabel Lucas (Culture Editor) and Francisco Sena Santos (Podcast Editor), alongside contributions from undergraduate and master’s students in Journalism at ESCS.

More than a news dissemination platform, Diário LX seeks to establish itself as a dynamic space connecting research, journalistic practice and society by covering relevant current issues and promoting new ways of narrating and discussing urban everyday life.

Looking ahead, the project aims to continuously update the website with new content while progressively enhancing its interactivity, exploring formats and mechanisms that foster closer relationships with readers and encourage new forms of audience participation and engagement.

Through this initiative, LIACOM reinforces its commitment to innovation in media and communication studies and to developing spaces that connect knowledge production, experimentation and social impact.
