An Election Uncovered
Tapajós de Fato, a small outlet in Brazil, has stopped covering elections “as a matter of survival.”
Tapajós de Fato, a small newsroom in the western Brazilian state of Pará, spent much of 2026 planning how to cover the country’s national and state elections, for a region where agribusiness, mining, and the struggles of Indigenous peoples and other rural communities are inseparable from politics. Then, before publishing its first story on the campaigns, the newsroom decided to abandon election coverage altogether.
