麻豆社

With big political changes in Brazil after a divisive election which brought in a new president, Faranak Amidi is in the country's largest city S茫o Paulo to look at the stories being covered by the 麻豆社 journalists based there.

The heart of S茫o Paulo: Avenida Paulista
Leticia Mori takes us to the famous Avenida Paulista, built for the rich of S茫o Paulo and now home to many businesses and banks. It hosts street markets and live performances every Sunday, and has also been the site of many protests and demonstrations.

A country the size of a continent
Journalists Vitor Tavares, Camilla Mota, Ian Alves and Ligia Guimar茫es give us an idea of the vastness of Brazil with a quick introduction to their home towns.

Divided Brazil
We discuss the divisions which seem to touch all parts of life in Brazil - with Jo茫o Fellet, Thais Carran莽a and Ian Alves. What's it been like reporting on such a polarised country, and has the new presidency brought any signs of change?

My favourite neighbourhood: Liberdade
We rejoin Leticia Mori in the Liberdade neighbourhood of S茫o Paulo, home to the city's Japanese community. Leticia tells us about her own Japanese heritage and what this area tells us about the complex history of Brazil.

Brazil, the melting pot
Brazil has one of the most diverse and mixed populations in the world, and S茫o Paulo is its most diverse city. Camilla Mota, Mariana Alvim and Felipe Souza tell us what it means to be Brazilian, and discuss the stereotypes they're sometimes faced with.
