HonestReporting is proud to announce the launch of HonestReporting Brazil.
HonestReporting Brazil will draw upon HonestReporting’s Brazilian support base, increasing the organization’s existing capacity to monitor Brazilian as well as Portuguese media for anti-Israel media bias, bringing considerable expertise in exposing instances of bias and effecting change through education and action. This dedicated platform will actively engage grassroots communities, giving Brazilian news consumers the opportunity to access and impact both global news coverage and domestic reporting on Israel through original content focusing on Brazilian media and translations of relevant global content from HonestReporting’s main English language site.
This new project builds on HonestReporting’s long-time relationship with the Brazilian pro-Israel community, including lecturing to Brazilian student groups both in Brazil and Israel, and Brazilian participants on past HonestReporting Missions to Israel, as well as significant numbers of existing subscribers to HonestReporting’s English content who appreciate HonestReporting’s support for their efforts and involving them in our work. Prominent supporters in Brazil have reached out to partner with HonestReporting in order to provide this more focused and dedicated support.
HonestReporting Brazil will be fronted by Rio de Janeiro native and recent immigrant to Israel, Tamara Stern, with the support of HonestReporting’s existing editorial staff.
HonestReporting Brazil will be hosted via the main HonestReporting website at https://honestreporting.com/brazil, on Facebook at http://facebook.com/honestreportingbrasil, on Twitter at https://twitter.com/HRbrasil16, and can be reached through email at [email protected].
HonestReporting CEO Joe Hyams said:
HonestReporting already has a significant subscriber base in Brazil. We owe it to those supporters of Israel and media consumers who have expressed their concern at increasing anti-Israel media bias, to engage more intensively in this arena and we thank our Brazilian partners for making HonestReporting Brazil a reality.
The Brazilian media are subject to the same influences as much of the western mainstream press and this is reflected in some of the problematic stories we are seeing on a regular basis. We have, however, recognized that different languages and cultures require focused and appropriate content.
At a time when Palestinian terrorists are being portrayed in the media as victims of Israeli malevolence, it is vital that we tackle this bias whenever and wherever the headlines are published. HonestReporting is proud to bring our expertise to Brazil and the Portuguese speaking community.
