The Intercept Brasil digital news outlet

The Intercept Brasil is a Brazilian digital news organization that launched in 2016 as a Portuguese-language edition of the international investigative platform, The Intercept. It is renowned for its high-impact investigative journalism, most notably the 'Vaza Jato' series which significantly impacted Brazil's political landscape.

Originally established as a subsidiary of First Look Media, the global organization founded by eBay creator Pierre Omidyar together with journalists Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, and Jeremy Scahill, the Brazilian outlet has since transitioned its operational and legal structure. Today, it operates with editorial independence within the Brazilian market, focusing on digital-first investigative reporting, human rights, and political accountability.
