Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Explosão Solar — how we work, how to reach us and how we handle your data.
What is Explosão Solar?
Explosão Solar is a news portal dedicated to explanatory journalism: the kind that places context above speed and treats readers as people who want to understand, not just know. We cover Brazil, the World, Politics, Economics, Technology, Science, Sports, and Culture — going beyond the facts to explain what they mean and what is likely to come next.
What is the portal's editorial stance?
Our editorial stance rests on three pillars: absolute independence, rigorous verification through primary sources, and in-depth explanation. We prefer to publish correctly rather than publish first. No advertiser has prior access to our editorial agenda, nor any power of veto over the newsroom's publishing decisions.
How is content produced and reviewed?
Every story begins with an editorial brief, goes through verification using primary sources — official documents, public data, studies, and named experts — and undergoes dual review before publication: fact-checking and copy editing. Any updates made after publication are always flagged with a visible date and explanation for the reader.
I found an error in an article. How do I request a correction?
Write to contato@explosaosolar.com with the article link, a description of the error, and, if possible, the source supporting the correction. We review every request. If the error is confirmed, we correct the text immediately and add a transparency note indicating what was changed and when. Serious errors are also highlighted at the top of the article.
Does the portal display advertising? How is it identified?
Yes. The portal is funded through programmatic advertising and, occasionally, sponsored content — always labeled with the tags Advertising or Sponsored Content, without exception. Advertisers have no prior access to our editorial agenda and no power of veto over editorial decisions. The separation between journalism and advertising is absolute.
How does Explosão Solar handle my personal data?
We process personal data in accordance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD — Law No. 13,709/2018), based on the principle of data minimization: we collect only what is necessary to operate the portal, measure audience, display advertising, and respond to messages. All details — including your rights as a data subject — are available in our Privacy Policy. To exercise any right, write to contato@explosaosolar.com.
How do I contact the newsroom?
The official channel is the e-mail address contato@explosaosolar.com. Through it we receive story suggestions, correction requests, press inquiries, commercial proposals, and personal data-related requests. We respond within 5 business days; requests related to the LGPD follow the statutory deadlines.
Can I suggest a story?
With pleasure. Send your suggestion to contato@explosaosolar.com with the subject line Story suggestion, describing the topic, why it is relevant now, and, if possible, suggesting sources or experts who could contribute. We read all suggestions, but publication depends on editorial evaluation and cannot be guaranteed.
Can I use, cite, or republish content from Explosão Solar?
Short quotations are freely permitted, provided they are accompanied by credit to Explosão Solar and a link to the original article. The full or substantial reproduction of texts, images, and other materials — including for training automated systems or populating databases — requires prior written authorization, requested by e-mail at contato@explosaosolar.com.
How does the newsletter work and how do I unsubscribe?
The newsletter is an editorial digest featuring the newsroom's top stories and analyses, delivered by e-mail. Subscription only occurs with explicit consent; your data is used exclusively to send each edition. To unsubscribe, click the unsubscribe link in the footer of any edition or write to contato@explosaosolar.com. Removal is immediate and hassle-free.
