Patricia Figueiredo

I'm a Brazilian freelance journalist based in Denmark currently pursuing an Erasmus Mundus Master's degree in Journalism, Media and Globalisation at Aarhus University and City, University of London, on a full scholarship.

Previously, I have worked at G1, Brazil's largest news website, focusing on investigative or data-based stories about environment, health and cities. In 2022, I received the Claudio Weber Abramo Data Journalism award for a report on legal abortion in Brazil published in video and text on G1. Before that, I was a misinformation reporter at Agência Pública, an award-winning investigative journalism agency, where I've covered local and national elections. I was also a Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) fellow in 2017 and an Earth Journalism Network (EJN) fellow in 2022. As a freelancer, I have bylines at Folha de S. Paulo, Estadão, UOL, Next City, Yahoo and Veja, among others.
