On the heels of Brazil’s major election, ICIJ member Guilherme Amado joins us to discuss how outgoing president Jair Bolsonaro’s government put democracy in the balance, the struggles that President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will face beginning in January and how he’s coping with news overload. Amado is a news columnist for the website Metropoles and a director of Abraji, the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism. Earlier this year, he published a book on the ways Bolsonaro’s government dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic.
