In 2015, when I founded Lupa, Brazil’s first organization fully dedicated to combating disinformation, “fake news” was a niche term, Donald Trump was still a reality TV personality, and fact-checking was virtually unknown in Brazil.

After the 2016 presidential election, I left institutional journalism philanthropy, questioning my ability to reinvigorate journalism’s role in a healthy democracy.

Hegel, the German philosopher, had a theory of what drives history: conflict between the status quo and a new challenge, resolving (sometimes after much sturm und drang) into a stable synthesis. In 2025, I predict that the journalistic status quo and the challengers of digital social media will begin to resolve — into editorially anchored...

In the summer of 2016, a chance encounter while walking through downtown Manhattan provided an unexpected lens into the fractured dynamics of American politics and our state of civil discourse. I was engaged in a discussion about the election with a friend when a middle-aged white man approached us, two Black men, and politely asked...
[Click here for English version.] Soy latina, mexicana, migrante y fronteriza… y desde el 1 de noviembre también ciudadana estadounidense. Tardé 18 años. Fue un camino largo, doloroso y costoso.
