Angola, Portugal, Moçambique, Cabo<br />
Verde… A Lusofonia está sempre muito<br />
presente na revista. Qual a sua opinião<br />
sobre o assunto<br />
A Lusofonia já não é a causa da moda, mas está<br />
na moda. A CPLP é vista como uma comunidade<br />
activa, à qual outros países tradicionalmente<br />
não lusófonos pretendem juntar-se. Os<br />
países que compõem a Lusofonia assumem<br />
os seus destinos de forma independente, e a<br />
visão de força conjunta já está assimilada. Esse<br />
facto é uma realidade nas trocas comerciais,<br />
na cooperação ao nível político e conferências<br />
nos mais variados domínios.<br />
O que sente após conquistar<br />
100 edições da revista<br />
África <strong>Today</strong> E o que<br />
podemos esperar para o<br />
Futuro<br />
Angola assume cada vez<br />
mais uma clara e natural<br />
liderança na sua região de<br />
inserção geográfica, mas<br />
também no contexto da<br />
Lusofonia. A África <strong>Today</strong><br />
reúne todas as características<br />
e condições para se assumir<br />
como um instrumento de comunicação<br />
poderoso que acompanha<br />
essa liderança.<br />
of the pioneers in this area what is your<br />
opinion about this phenomenon<br />
By the time of the 90s, in many conferences<br />
I attended, university professors, media<br />
professionals abundantly referred the term<br />
“Global Village”. I especially recall the wistful<br />
Rui Romano. By that time this issue was<br />
more theoretical than practical for us. But<br />
in few years, it has proved to be a fact<br />
to consider. The digital platforms are<br />
very useful tools which complement<br />
our fieldwork. Its huge competitive<br />
advantage is to enlarge our communication<br />
borders and the timely of<br />
the news. By making use of the traditional<br />
and digital routes we are an<br />
undeniable vehicle.<br />
There are, even, those who argue<br />
that the traditional format of an editorial<br />
office has its days counted. Do you<br />
agree with this view<br />
I agree that we should be complementary.<br />
<strong>Africa</strong> <strong>Today</strong> is a good example. We have an<br />
editorial office in Lisbon and another in Luanda.<br />
Some of our staff do not even know<br />
one another in person, however, they work<br />
together, there is team spirit and we take advantage<br />
of these two platforms.<br />
Do you feel professionally fulfilled<br />
Conquering one hundred editions under my<br />
management reflects our responsibility, our<br />
commitment and ability to perform.<br />
Angola, Portugal, Mozambique, Cape<br />
Verde… Lusophony is always very present<br />
in the magazine. What is your opinion<br />
about the issue<br />
Lusophony is not the trendy cause anymore,<br />
but it is in vogue. The CPLP is seen as an active<br />
community, to which other traditionally<br />
non-Lusophone countries intend to join. The<br />
countries that compose the Lusophony take<br />
their destinies independently, and the view<br />
of joint strength is already assimilated. This<br />
fact is a reality in the commercial trade, in<br />
political cooperation and in conferences in<br />
several domains.<br />
What do you feel after conquering 100<br />
editions of the <strong>Africa</strong> <strong>Today</strong> magazine<br />
And what can we expect for the future<br />
Angola assumes more and more a clear and<br />
natural leadership in its geographic region,<br />
but also in the Lusophony context. <strong>Africa</strong> <strong>Today</strong><br />
gathers all the characteristics and conditions<br />
to be assumed as a powerful communication<br />
tool that accompanies that leadership.<br />
