Plus 55

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plus 55, active for 18 months starting in 2016, was one of the first publications to translate Brazilian news into English.[1] It was launched by Gustavo Riberio and Marcelo Anache in 2016 with the subcategories Power, Money, Life, Ideas and Opinion.[2] Its name is a reference to the Brazilian country code, which is +55. The website began as a blog written in French, and later changed to English language coverage.[3]
