He is the only three-time winner of the UN World Summit Awards; in 2012, 2017, and 2021.
In 2016, together with Agência Pública, he won, and was a runner up for, the Prêmio Jornalístico Vladimir Herzog de Anistia e Direitos Humanos. In 2017, he cooperated on work which was nominated for the Gabriel García Márquez award, and the Prêmio Petrobras de Jornalismo.
