Researchers

The art of study and research unites these personalities. Journalists at heart, they have been teachers and researchers and have trained generations. José Tengarrinha, Mário Mesquita and Paquete de Oliveira sign the pages of the journalism academy.​

José Manuel Marques do Carmo Tengarrinha
JOSÉ TENGARRINHA

(1932 – 2018)

Only great personalities are capable of passing through the “diabolical forces” that populate political experience without burning their souls. The statement is made by Viriato Soromenho Marques regarding Tengarrinha, whose life was marked by the value of freedom and by two passions: the “generous civic gift in favor of public debate” and a dedication to knowledge.

Paquete de Oliveira
PAQUETE DE OLIVEIRA

(1936 – 2016)

“Physically, you die only once; socially, we can die and be born several times.” It was Paquete de Oliveira himself who stated this, assuming his multifaceted trajectory, that is, his multiple and “diverse paths”.

MÁRIO MESQUITA
MÁRIO MESQUITA

(1950 – 2022)

“Doing the math, I was a teacher for more years than I was a journalist. But when people refer to me, they say ‘journalist Mário Mesquita’. I assume that 'the journalist Mário Mesquita' will also appear in my obituary.”(1)
