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.
