Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism

The Tim Lopes Program is Abraji’s response to violence against journalists, especially in the rural areas of Brazil. It is funded by Open Society Foundations and provides direct support to journalists who have been physically threatened, investigates deaths in the course of their work and, whenever possible, coordinates the continuation of investigations that the victim had been carrying out. The investigation into British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous activist Bruno Pereira, who were killed in 2022 during a reporting trip in the Amazon region, is one example of the cases being monitored.

At the end of 2023, the Tim Lopes Program started running a hub, formed by Abraji's team, to discuss how to support journalists' safety. The idea is to create a safer working environment. We aim to do that by putting together guides, lessons, interviews and reports on Abraji's platforms to help journalists. In 2024, the program began once again broadcasting its livestreams on Abraji's Instagram platform.
