Investigative Journalism like a Punk Rock Band

Hey folks!
How are you? Here I'm ok, despite the 35 degrees Celsius outside. A new academic semester is beginning, a lot of classes to prepare. A whole year of journalism lectures. But right after the start, a pause: next week is Carnival! Five days to party. Or, in my case, to relax.

| Take a look at this interview (in English) with Leandro Demori, executive editor of The Intercept Brasil. It's a nice reading to understand how the Brazilian newsroom of the news outlet founded by Glenn Greenwald works. An excerpt: "We’re like a punk rock band. The press, in general, is more like those big bands, or even a symphonic orchestra. We have 18 people on staff, including our editors, reporters, social media managers and administrative team." | Brazilian fact-checker Cristina Tardáguila, the director of Brazilian fact-checking wire Agência Lupa, is the new associate director (in English) of International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). | A crowdfunding project from Fiquem Sabendo (Know this) wants to ask Brazilian authorities for official documents once considered "classified" (and that their confidentiality status has already expired) to know what kind of document used to be confidential and why. | Without a local press, residents from a small Brazilian city look for information on WhatsApp and Facebook. | Investigative journalism helps to shed light on murders of communicators in Brazil (English). |
