Newsrooms across Brazil can participate in this program.

Comprova Project, an initiative by the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism, is offering support for journalists and newsrooms covering the local elections in Brazil.

Journalists can access resources and tools for fact-checking and verification through the program's WhatsApp channel.

Resources range from a toolkit of digital applications for verifying multimedia content to a handbook on the basics of AI for journalists.

Comprova is also offering up to 500 free consulting sessions for journalists seeking guidance on how to investigate content suspicious of spreading disinformation. Journalists can request a 20-minute consultation.

Participation is free.
