Welcome to my portfolio! I’m Vitória Barreto, a Master’s student in Journalism and International Affairs at Sciences Po, Paris. I interned at Veja, Brazil’s largest weekly magazine, contributing to print articles for the magazine and daily news for the website, and at Agence France-Presse in Rio de Janeiro as a Video Editor. At the start of my Bachelor's, I also contributed to the university paper with articles about international politics and hosted a podcast on entrepreneurship and student life during the pandemic.
Although my primary role at the agency was to edit 4-5 videos a day, I pitched a story idea to the editor-in-chief about two artists I had been following for years. Maxwell Alexandre and Allan Weber had opened contemporary art galleries in Rio de Janeiro's favelas, challenging elitist barriers in an art market traditionally concentrated in the city's South Zone. In addition to writing the story, I accompanied AFP’s video and photography team during the production, organized the logistics for filming locations, and coordinated with AFP's transportation team to ensure a smooth reporting process. The written and video report was published on AFP’s platforms and featured by major outlets, including France 24, RFI, TV5Monde, UOL, and others.
At AFP Portuguese, I edited 3-5 videos per day. Here are some of the videos I produced during my one-year internship.
