Povo News is a data journalism company that provides quality information and analysis about world politics, election news, and campaign updates.
By definition “POVO” means “people” in Portuguese but the acronym stands for “people of various opinions” which speaks to our mission to ensure that we make information available to everyone.
Povo News started as a citizen’s journalism website mainly on Twitter and Facebook in 2016, with the first article on the Povo News website being published shortly after.
We are experimenting with incorporating AI, data visualization, video storytelling, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools in our product offering.
