Principles of Publication
AutoPapo is a journalistic portal that produces mobility content. We write about cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses and other modes of transport. We are committed to answering questions about the market, maintenance, legislation and curiosities around the automotive universe and mobility.
We produce content about vehicles and the universe of mobility for those who like and don’t like cars, but who need good quality information to make their daily lives easier.
Actionable Feedback Policy
AutoPapo is dedicated to answering the questions of our audience, whether with our articles, or through questions we receive on our channels. We use our authority to gain access to manufacturers and suppliers to deliver accurate and reliable information to our audience.
We believe that well-researched information should be accessible to all. Therefore, we have gone out of our way to answer as many questions as possible from our readers and viewers. It is the commitment of AutoPapo.
Corrections Policy
To err is human and as in AutoPapo it is humans who write for humans, mistakes are likely to happen. However, we have a philosophy of transparency to address our failures.
We are always attentive to the notes of our audience, sources and anyone who notices an inaccuracy in our content. In our articles, when there is an error, we correct it as soon as possible to prevent incorrect information from remaining.
In other content, which does not allow edits, we have as a rule, remove and upload again. Because we believe that our audience cannot be misled. This is how we attest to our credibility, the trust that the audience places in our work.
Diversity Policy
At AutoPapo, we believe in representative journalism, because for us, relevant journalism begins with respect — for people, differences, and life paths.
Our motto is that diversity enriches content and broadens the perspectives offered to the reader.
Based on this motto, we have built a diverse team in which we respect a plurality of ideas, cultures, backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
Our work environment is free from prejudice, harassment, and discrimination of any kind.
We believe that all team members should be heard, respected, and welcomed.
Only in this way can we fulfill our goal of ensuring a healthy work environment for our collaborators.
For AutoPapo, representativeness matters.
Therefore, whenever we publish any news, we seek to hear different voices and avoid stereotypes or any discriminatory approach.
At AutoPapo, empathy sets the rules.
