Meet the founder

Experience that shapes every project.

NAF Insight Lab is led by Nuno Andrade Ferreira, whose career spans journalism, research, higher education and media development.

Rather than specialising in a single discipline, Nuno Andrade Ferreira has spent more than two decades working across newsrooms, universities and international programmes, leading editorial teams, supporting journalists and media organisations.

This combination of perspectives allows NAF Insight Lab to approach projects from multiple angles. Research is informed by newsroom experience. Training is grounded in evidence rather than theory alone. Knowledge resources are developed from real-world practice.
His work has included collaborations with organisations such as the Thomson Reuters Foundation, Fondation Hirondelle, the Media Foundation for West Africa, the International Monetary Fund and other international partners, covering topics including press freedom, information integrity, journalism ethics, media literacy or media viability.

Alongside his international work, Nuno continues to work as a journalist, lead a media organisation and teach at university level. Remaining actively engaged in these different environments ensures that the organisation’s work stays connected to the realities faced by journalists, institutions and media systems today.
