Globo Explode Seu Jornalismo Em Maior Crise Da História | Lula Em Café Com Jornalistas

In today's episode of Fórum 11:30, we delve into the topic of mass layoffs in Brazil's largest broadcasting network, Globo. The atmosphere within the company is abysmal, with reports of discrimination surfacing alongside these layoffs. Joining us to discuss this issue are journalist Altamiro Borges and professor Lola Aronavítico. In addition, we have an exclusive interview with President Lula, where he addresses the current state of journalism. We will also touch upon the alarming rise of online violence and initiatives to prevent attacks in schools. Tune in to the program for more information.

The National Federation of Journalists and several Journalists' Unions are actively contesting the mass layoffs at Globo. They have requested an urgent meeting to discuss these dismissals and the company's stance on the matter, as many of those affected are seasoned professionals with decades of experience. It is believed that Globo is cutting higher-salaried positions and replacing them with younger professionals, adhering to the capitalistic logic of valuing experience less. However, it is crucial to not solely focus on the age factor of those being laid off, but rather to expose Globo's attempt to extract more profit from its employees. Additionally, the crisis at Globo is linked to competition from other media companies, such as Record, as well as the growth of the internet and streaming services.

President Bolsonaro's recent statement to the Federal Police regarding the jewelry case is also mentioned, where he claimed to have no recollection of any involvement in the matter. The intricacies of this case continue to unfold, adding further complexity to the ongoing challenges faced by Globo.

Schools as Symbols of Empowerment: A Closer Look

In Mauro Lopes' program, the role of schools as symbols of empowerment for women was discussed. This caught the attention of a journalist who is now planning a report on the subject. The conversation touched upon how mainstream media often overlooks valuable information, while Fórum captures and highlights these crucial insights that go unreported by Globo. It was also mentioned that there has been no president at Barão for the past five years, and Globo is currently experiencing layoffs. The explosion of the internet has affected all forms of media, leading to a crisis in the business model. Credibility issues and administrative problems have also contributed to the current situation. Globo defends its high interest rates due to investments in the financial market. While Globo's business model may be in crisis, the Marinho family's children still remain among Brazil's billionaires. However, it is the workers who are most affected by these layoffs. This crisis marks the definitive transition from free TV to Globo Play, where the company generates revenue. Free TV may eventually become a paid service through the Globo Play package.

The Alarming Rise of Violence in Schools

Oh boy, hold on tight because we're diving into a heavy topic now. Yesterday, another violent attack occurred, this time at a daycare center, resulting in the tragic loss of four innocent children. And this devastating incident comes just a week after a teenager in São Paulo attacked and killed a teacher. Lola, how do you perceive this constant surge of grave attacks in Brazil? It's absolutely dreadful, isn't it? It seems like we're not just witnessing an increase, but rather, we're truly spiraling out of control.

A Troubling Incident and President Lula's Perspective

Let's shift gears for a moment and discuss a distressing incident at a school. A meeting was held to address the behavioral problems of a student who had been caught with images of firearms. The school decided that the child would not be allowed to attend classes until a psychiatric evaluation was presented. However, the parents were outraged by this decision and managed to transfer their child to another school. Unfortunately, just a week later, another school experienced an incident involving a knife.

In addition to this, we have an exclusive interview with former President Lula, where he discusses the country's interest rates and inflation target. He advocates for a reduction in interest rates and suggests the possibility of revisiting the inflation target.

Conclusion

The challenges faced by Globo and the escalating violence in schools are indeed worrying. It is essential for us to confront these issues head-on, fostering open discussions and seeking solutions. As we navigate through these turbulent times, let us not forget the power of unity and collective action. Together, we can work towards a brighter future, where journalism thrives, schools are safe havens for learning, and society as a whole embraces empathy and compassion.
