José Costa Santos, Macau chief correspondent of Portuguese news agency Lusa, starts work with local radio and TV broadcaster Teledifusão de Macau (TDM) next month, Business Daily has learned from reliable sources. Mr. Costa Santos, 45, arrived in Macau in 1991, having worked on Ponto Final newspaper and contributed to Tribuna de Macau and Macau magazine. In 1994, he joined Lusa. In 1999, he left the territory and went to the Lisbon headquarters of the news agency where he stayed until returning to Macau in 2003 as its chief correspondent. Some of his tasks in TDM include “supervising the news agenda, managing human resources and sharing responsibilities in the broadcasting connections with other stations from Portuguese-speaking countries”, our sources told us. Mr. Costa Santos will be replaced at the end of this month by Margarida Pinto. The new delegate has arrived in Macau from the Azores where she was previously stationed.
