Nexo Jornal

Nexo Jornal is an online news site in Brazil and was launched in the summer of 2015.  Nexos has tried to carve out a space for itself somewhere in between academic research and explanatory journalism.
Each week it publishes three infographics, two opinion pieces, and a quiz.  Every month it publishes a piece of longform reporting.
Nexo also has a section of its site dedicated to new academic research, where scholars can submit their work for consideration, and Nexo editors work with them to distill their findings into a more readable form.
