Agencia Mural de Jornalismo das Periferias

Founded as a blog in 2010, Agencia Mural evolved in 2018 into a news outlet dedicated exclusively to covering the low-income, underserved communities in Greater Sao Paulo, the largest urban area in South America. Agencia Mural's mission is to reduce information gaps and stereotypes about these communities and foster dialogue within them, especially among youth. Agencia Mural employs journalists who live in the communities they cover. Agencia Mural also operates a journalism school (Clube Mural) which has trained more than 700 young professionals since 2010. In Brazil, Agencia Mural stands out for its local and hyperlocal journalism, attracting nearly 100,000 monthly visits by focusing exclusively on the urban peripheries of Greater Sao Paulo.
