Yale Poynter Fellow, André Petry, is an international correspondent for VEJA, Brazil's leading weekly newsmagazine and one of the most circulated newsmagazines in the world. From 1991 to 1996, he was the political editor in São Paulo, where he oversaw the investigative work that led to the impeachment of Brazilian president Fernando Collor de Mello. That coverage won VEJA the most prestigious journalism prize in Brazil. He has a background writing about political and social issues.

This is a brief overview of some of the points he shared in his talk at Yale in April 2012: Brazil's Transformation, The Price of Economic Growth, Myth vs. Reality, and The Olympics.
