Is Lusa down? User reports show no current problems with Lusa

Is Lusa down right now?

Lusa is sending its wire and serving lusa.pt as normal at the moment. The Lusa status panel at the top of this page follows the public site, the subscriber sign-in and the photo service. Lusa down reports from newsroom users appear here as they arrive, and a real fault shows quickly on the graph.

Most people meet Lusa stories through other outlets, so a quiet graph can hide a busy day. Complaints that name the subscriber area only usually trace back to one newsroom network.

Is Lusa down for me or everyone?

Load lusa.pt on a phone outside your office network and compare the two results. If the public pages open there, your newsroom connection or account carries the fault. If both tries fail while Lusa down reports rise here, a Lusa outage is stopping subscribers everywhere at once.

Who signs in to the Lusa wire, and what they see

The wire is a working tool for journalists, not a public news feed. Signed-in editors see every dispatch in full as it lands, sorted by desk and by time. They pull text, photos and audio into their own publishing systems.

Institutions hold lighter accounts that follow set topics. Their view trims the flow to the desks they pay for. A story outside those desks shows as a headline with the body held back.

What the Lusa photo service holds for subscribers

Lusa Foto holds the agency’s press photography, from its own photographers and partner agencies abroad. Subscribers search by event, place or person and pull the sizes their pages need. The archive reaches back decades.

How the Lusa agenda helps newsrooms plan the day

The agenda lists the events the agency plans to cover, from court hearings to match days. Editors use it to plan pages and shifts before the stories land. When a big event breaks early, the agenda updates.

Where free Lusa stories end and the wire begins

The open site carries a selection of dispatches in full and the rest as short leads. The line sits where the subscriber value starts, mainly full text, photos and audio. Readers without an account meet that wall on the deeper material.

Common Lusa Problems and Fixes

Wire users lose time to sign-ins that drop mid-shift, photo searches that spin and dispatches that open cut in half. The repairs below speak to those screens.

Hold a subscriber sign-in that keeps dropping

Stay on one browser for the wire, since the session ties itself to it. Turn off any setting that wipes cookies at closing time. If the drops continue, sign out everywhere and start one clean session.

Finish a photo search that spins forever

Narrow the search with a place or an event name instead of one broad word. Clear the desk and topic filters. A search that still spins points to a heavy result set, so add a second keyword.

Load a dispatch that opens cut in half

Refresh the story once, since a wire text can update while you read it. If the end is still missing, your account tier holds the full body back. Open it from the desk list to check your plan’s version.

Speed up a lusa.pt that crawls

Try the site away from the office network to rule out a local block. A newsroom firewall that scans downloads slows the photo pages most. Test it on a plain connection first.

Play an audio piece that sits silent

Check the browser is not muting the tab. Try the piece in a second browser to split the player from the network. If audio fails everywhere while text loads, the media server is the weak point.
