News sources

Madeira news, and where it actually comes from

The island’s working newsrooms, who owns each one, and which of them publish a feed — every address opened and checked by hand.

Every address below was opened on the date beside it. What each one is, and who pays for it, is the part an aggregator never tells you: one of these is the island’s daily paper of record, one is the regional government reporting on itself, and one belongs to the Diocese of Funchal.

The newsrooms

Ordered by what to reach for first: the dailies, then the public broadcaster, then the smaller independents, then the bodies reporting on their own work, then the two whose job is to warn you.

7 of the 10 publish something a program can read on a timer. The rest do not, and recording that is the useful half of this table.

IPMA — avisos meteorológicos (opens in a new tab)www.ipma.ptPublic agencyThe national weather institute’s warnings.

A feed is not a judgement about quality. It is whether a program can read the outlet on a schedule. “None found” means we looked: the site answered, and no feed was declared in its markup or served at the usual addresses.

Weather warnings

No warning was in force for any of the four areas when this was gathered, on July 27, 2026.

Warnings data: Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA). IPMA’s own warnings page (opens in a new tab)

What the island’s newsrooms are leading with

Titles and links, in Portuguese, exactly as each newsroom published them — grouped by publisher, dated with the feed’s own publication date. Nothing here is summarised or translated: the click is what we owe them.

What this page does not do

It reproduces nobody’s reporting. Names, addresses and a factual description of what each newsroom is — nothing else on this page belongs to them. Read them where they publish.
