Brasil 247 is a Brazilian news and political analysis website with an editorial line identified with the political left. It was founded in March 2011 by journalist Leonardo Attuch, [1] who currently holds the position of CEO and member of the editorial board. It was created to serve a watchdog function that aimed to break the link between corporations and governments, modeling it on American political blogs like AlterNet and Daily Kos. The website is managed by Editora 247, [2] which also controls the YouTube channel TV 247. [3]

Its stated mission is to "empower the public through information and knowledge, and to promote the uncompromising defense of a full democracy." [4] The website is seen as pro-Workers' Party, [5] [6] with opponents accusing it of being funded by that party. [7] [8]
