The Real News Network launches English-language Brazilian reporting project ahead of pivotal election

Panamerican Dispatch is a new journalism project created in September 2026 to produce and distribute news and analysis from Latin America, within the United States.

Brazilians are heading to the polls. The stakes for the region could not be higher.

U.S. President Donald Trump has renewed attention on Latin America as not seen in decades. There are major concerns for the future of democracy across Latin America and the legitimacy of upcoming elections in the region.

That is why Panamerican Dispatch is needed today.

“Panamerican Dispatch is an essential site to learn about Latin American events from perspectives that go beyond the talking heads of mainstream media venues,” said Rafael Ioris, a Brazilian Latin American history professor at the University of Denver. “This is even more valuable in today’s changing and concerning landscape of the Western hemisphere.”

Most of the content published on Panamerican Dispatch is translated from other languages into English and is available free at www.panamericandispatch.org.

The project is on X, Bluesky, Instagram and TikTok @padispatch.

Panamerican Dispatch has already published more than thirty stories over the past two weeks, reporting on Trump’s attempt to sway the election, about Big Tech’s actions in the campaign, and the environmental implications of the vote.

“In this era of mega-mergers and relentless corporate media consolidation, it’s refreshing and exciting to see an independent initiative like Panamerican Dispatch take shape, bringing us incisive and compelling reporting from a diverse group of fiercely independent journalists on the ground in Latin America,” said Alexander Main, the Director of International Policy at the Center for International and Policy Research.

Panamerican Dispatch is a project of The Real News Network, in partnership with Global Exchange.

Brazil-based journalist Michael Fox is leading the initiative. He has reported extensively across the region for PRX’s The World, DW, The Nation, Business Insider, The Intercept, AJ+, TRT World, The Real News Network, and numerous other outlets. He is a former editor of NACLA’s Report on the Americas. More recently, he is the producer and host of numerous podcasts, including Brazil on Fire and Under the Shadow. His most recent episode of Under the Shadow looks at U.S. President Donald Trump’s attempt to impact the vote in Brazil.

Michael Fox will be covering the elections from the streets of Brazil.

Cambodia’s Japan security aid is a hedge, not a pivot from China

3 October 2026 at 06:37

In February 2026, weeks after Cambodia’s National Assembly approved a draft law to ratify the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a convention Phnom Penh signed in 1983 but never ratified, Japan unveiled plans to extend Official Security Assistance (OSA) to Cambodia. The announcement did not come out of nowhere and […]

Leaving Iraq while bombing Iran

1 October 2026 at 12:13

On September 30, the last American and coalition troops flew out of Erbil Air Base, and the Pentagon declared an “orderly departure.” The White House called it a victory. President Trump, never one for understatement, described the whole enterprise as “a very expensive excursion into Hell.” For once, the hyperbole is closer to the truth […]

The Children a Scientist Took Home

24 August 2026 at 12:00

Carleton Gajdusek won the Nobel Prize for his work on a disease in Papua New Guinea. But his biggest experiment was on the children he took from the field to the US—many of whom he sexually molested, with the knowledge and, in some cases, approval of his professional peers and colleagues:

In his journals and in letters to colleagues, Gajdusek was self-righteous, arguing that what he’d done was “no more serious than lying on the grass or picking a dandelion,” and he cited the Anga initiation rites as justification. These ceremonies had brought boys into their communities, as part of a shared passage into manhood, but Gajdusek treated them as a timeless license for the acts that he’d committed privately, one boy at a time. George Klein, a professor at the Karolinska Institute, in Stockholm, who was part of the Nobel Assembly for thirty-six years, validated Gajdusek’s opinions, telling him that he wondered if “the Western world can ‘catch up with you.’” He wrote, “I share your indignation about the typically Jewish-Christian-Moslem hypocrisy on sexual matters.” Gajdusek was troubled, though, by how many colleagues wrote letters saying that they knew the charges must be untrue. “I thought better of my friends,” he said. “They are dissimulating and lying.”
