Agência Pública announces cultural journalism center and map of independent journalism in Brazil
To mark its five-year anniversary, Agência Pública, a nonprofit investigative journalism outlet in Brazil, announced the launch of Casa Pública, a new cultural center, and the Map of Independent Journalism (pictured above).
Casa Pública will act as a platform to facilitate new independent journalism projects across Brazil and Latin America as a whole. The Map of Independent Journalism will be a survey of these independent projects, with 70 of them currently showcased on its site.
“In these five years, Agência Pública has persistently covered violations of Brazilians’ rights,”
the organization said in a release. “Now, from Casa Pública, it plans to incubate new independent journalism initiatives and promote the exchange of experiences between professionals from around the world who are interested in investigative journalism and human rights.”
