By Sergio Spagnuolo, Jade Drummond, Alexandre Orrico
| Núcleo Jornalismo
O Núcleo nasceu em jan.2020, fruto da obliteração de uma organização que prometeu muito, não entregou nada e fechou menos de dois meses após seu lançamento. Não havia grana pra nada. Era uma ideia, um projeto paralelo. No comecinho, a gente não tinha muitas pretensões, mas o Núcleo representava um veículo para fazermos o jornalismo que queríamos.

Apesar de gostar de nozes, nunca tentei comprar nenhum tipo dessas oleaginosas online. Mas o Instagram achou que eu encaixo no perfil e decidiu compartilhar meus dados para uma loja de castanhas. A rede social também compartilhou meus dados com o perfil do ministro da Saúde (e ex-candidato ao governo de São Paulo), Alexandre Padilha (PT) e mais de 3.000 outros anunciantes, em pelo menos 17 categorias de anúncios.

Awards

Premio Claudio Weber Abramo de Jornalismo de Dados

2022 - Innovation

On Sunday (6.Nov.2022), Núcleo won the top prize for Innovation and Experimentation in the Cláudio Weber Abramo Data Journalism Award with the project BotPonto, a bot that scans YouTube videos to assist in the fight against disinformation. The award ceremony took place during CODA•BR, an event by the School of Data, in São Paulo/Brazil, and the main data journalism event in Latin America. BotPonto – which monitors dozens of YouTube channels, reading automatic transcriptions and identifying moments with potential disinformation about the electoral process – was developed by Núcleo's technology team in partnership with Novelo Data, within the Jogo Limpo program – created and managed by the International Center For Journalists (ICFJ) and funded by YouTube Brasil.
