Ponte Jornalismo

Ponte focuses on covering news related to public security and the judicial system as well as the intersections with race, gender and class in Brazil.

Ponte says it  practices journalism to inform society about the fight for human rights, against racism and all oppressions of race, gender and class.

As a nonprofit publication, Ponte gets funded through three different financial sources: donation from readers, donations from philanthropic institutions and services such as research on public security related issues. 

According to Ponte, diversity at Ponte is present both on its coverage - through sources - and at its staff, seeking to ensure racial and gender heterogeneity in its team.

Ponte says it corrects its errors quickly and transparently. 

After a Ponte report goes live it says it is committed to tell its readers of any corrections, clarifications and updates.

It pledges to tell a) the date and time of the amendment and b) what has been altered. It also says it is transparent, distinguishing corrections from clarifications and updates.

Ponte says that its coverage, by default, identify all sources mentioned with their full name. 

Exceptions occur only when identification may pose a risk to life or retaliation for sources. In this case, we omit people's names — and may use fictitious names, identified as such — and explain the reasons for the omission in the report.
