Dili – The first newspaper to be published in East Timor's two official languages – Tetum and Portuguese – has ceased publication after failing to achieve sufficiently high circulation.

The weekly "Lia Foun" disappeared from newsstands Friday in Dili after being launched in May leaving only one weekly title, the Portuguese-language "Jornal Nacional Semanario".

Three daily newspapers exist in Timor: Suara Timor Lorosae, the Timor Post and Diario Tempo. These are all in Tetum and Bahasa, although the Timor Post has a daily news page in Portuguese.
