## About

The Rio Times covers Brazil for readers who need their South American politics without the Portuguese. Its reporting on Brazilian politics, economics, crime, and social affairs tracks the country through the particular lens of a publication whose assumed reader could leave at any time. What it lacks in investigative depth it compensates for with access-oriented daily coverage of a country that remains chronically underreported in English.

- **Funding:** Advertising, sponsored content, subscriptions
- **Focus areas:** Brazilian politics, business, crime, real estate, expat affairs; English-language Brazilian news service


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
