Portugal does have international coverage and doesn't just focus on it's internal affairs. I was able to find an online newspaper that does cover international news in depth. The name of the newspaper is Diario de Noticias and covers both international and national news. For television, RTP usually covers the international news with a program specialized for it.
The previous website I mentioned contained stories from all over the world, including Libya, Ivory Coast, and Japan. I asked my grandmother about the coverage RTP gives and she said that RTP gives about 45 minutes dedicated to international news.
Overall, they seem to be very informed about news that happens globally and not just locally. With news about the bailout, I believe that Portugal will have to be aware of what happens in other countries in response to Portugal's request for the bailout. Also, I believe that Portual will have to inform the European Union about the details of the bailout. The European nations are going to want to know how its going to effect not only Portual but their countries as well. Their national news that is broadcasted out to other countries such as Spain, is going to have to be very detailed.
Here are some links to which you can view the news and link to RTP. If you would like to view the pages in English simply right click and hit translate..this is for PC's I'm not too sure about Macs.
