East Timor: First Tetum-Portuguese-language paper flops after 6 months
Dili, Oct. 14 (Lusa) - The first newspaper to be published in East
Timor's two official languages - Tetum and Portuguese - has ceased
publication after failing to achieve sufficiently high circulation.
The weekly "Lia Foun" disappeared from newsstands Friday in Dili
after being launched in May leaving only one weekly title, the
Portuguese-language "Jornal Nacional Semanario".
Three daily newspapers exist in Timor: Suara Timor Lorosae, the
Timor Post and Diario Tempo. These are all in Tetum and Bahasa, although
the Timor Post has a daily news page in Portuguese.
