The article explores articulations between capital, the state, and the media by taking Angola and Portugal as the empirical context to examine specific relations between neoliberal and state influence against media democracy normativity in the aftermath of the Eurozone economic crisis. This includes questioning the neoliberal narrative of capital both as a hegemonic force that disempowers nation states and homogenises national media configurations. In order to do it, the “Angolanisation” of the Portuguese economy will be addressed to, then, look at the role of the Portuguese media in consolidating Angola's position within Portuguese society. It is argued that Portuguese media defined their basic commitment as promoters of Angolan interests and together with other institutions they were part of a larger system that worked as internal colonisation agents. The article contends a more differentiated perspective on neoliberalism and offers arguments to move media democratic theories beyond its normativity in the field of media studies by looking at neoliberalism as a context sensitive concept and at the media as an expression of specific relations between neoliberal and state influence in articulation with other logics. In the case in point, Portugal's peripheral condition and colonial heritage.

本文以安哥拉和葡萄牙为实证背景，探讨了在欧元区经济危机后新自由主义和国家对媒体民主规范的影响之间的具体关系，探讨了资本、国家和媒体之间的联系。这包括质疑新自由主义关于资本的叙述，既是一种霸权力量，既削弱了民族国家的权力，又使国家媒体结构同质化。为了做到这一点，葡萄牙经济的“安哥拉化”将被解决，然后，看看葡萄牙媒体在巩固安哥拉方面的作用'在葡萄牙社会中的地位。有人认为，葡萄牙媒体将其基本承诺定义为安哥拉利益的推动者，并且与其他机构一起，它们是作为内部殖民代理人的更大系统的一部分。本文主张对新自由主义采取更加不同的观点，并通过将新自由主义视为一个上下文敏感的概念并将媒体视为新自由主义与国家影响之间特定关系的表达，提出了将媒体民主理论超越其在媒体研究领域的规范性的论点与其他逻辑相结合。以葡萄牙的周边状况和殖民遗产为例。
