[ddj] data-driven-journalism Digest, Vol 27, Issue 12

hello,
as far as I know, there's no official open-data about the protests in
Brazil. However, the brazilian media conglomerate  Globo ordered a reserch
from Ibope (a big research company) and they published the results this
morning. Obviously, we can't access the raw data, and the result is not
that impressive... but you can take a look and see if you find something
interesting (some Google translator may be needed)

portuguese)

They also did this infographic about the protests (a pretty good work)
