> Journalism++, the data journalism agency, opens its first chapter outside
> of Europe: *Jornalismo++ São Paulo*, also the first data journalism
> agency in Brazil. The Brazilian office will strenghthen current data
> journalism teams and lead projects of data-storytelling for news media
> organisations in the region, adding up to J++'s portfolio of award winning
> projects such as Datawrapper, Detective.io and Broken Promises.
>
>
>
> Brazilian newsrooms are catching up to the data journalism revolution,
> although most of them still don't have the resources to hire professionals
> from different backgrounds, such as Computer and Data Science, Design and
> Social Network Analysis, to lead data-driven investigations. *Jornalismo++
> São Paulo* is an effort to fill this gap with a handpicked team of
> experts with an extensive experience in major Brazilian newsrooms and data
> journalism projects. "We want to bring data journalism to Brazil, helping
> newsrooms that want to do good journalism with data, but don't have the
> manpower to do it in the short term", says Marco Túlio Pires, journalist
> and programmer, one of the founders of the chapter in São Paulo.
>
>
>
> Besides Marco Túlio Pires, who also coordinates School of Data Brazil, the
> team in São Paulo is lead by four other professionals: Juan Torres, editor
> of city's desk at the *Correio* newspaper, the biggest in Salvador;
> Natália Mazotte, teacher assistant at the Knight Center for Journalism in
> the Americas and also School of Data Brazil coordinator; Tiago Mali,
> Training Director at Brazil's Association for Investigative Journalism; and
> Thomaz Rezende, who worked as a programmer and designer for VEJA Magazine.
>
>
>
> The name of the agency is a pun between a common operator in programming
> languages and journalism itself. "The operator '++' means 'plus one' to a
> certain numeric variable. In other words, we want *Jornalismo++* to go
> beyond traditional journalism, even beyond what's already on the web. In
> our work, we increment journalism with skills from other areas, such as
> Computer Science, Design and Data Analysis", explains Natália.
>

>
> Jornalismo++ São Paulo will also maintain a blog about Data Journalism (
> http://jornalismodedados.com) with the latest updates in the field for a
> Portuguese-speaking audience. For more information about J++ São Paulo
