The Rio Times
Brazil-based English-language right-center
The Rio Times is an English-language online newspaper based in Rio de Janeiro, owned since 2019 by Swiss businessman Matthias Camenzind. It covers news about Brazil, Latin America, and the broader Global South, with a right-center editorial orientation that has historically favored conservative narratives, particularly those aligned with Brazil's political right. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term is mixed, reporting factually on U.S. policy impacts on Brazil while occasionally framing stories in ways sympathetic to conservative viewpoints.
