Eduardo Tchao uses nearly 4 decades of experience in journalism to discuss the social problem that terrifies Brazilians
Even though public safety is an essential issue in Brazil, there are few television journalists who specialize in the topic. Eduardo Tchao has become one of the most experienced.
In April 2023 he was fired by Globo after 37 years of working in the Marinho family’s communications group. The dismissal was announced in an inappropriate and inhumane way: while he was recording a report on the street.
Tchao recounted the daily violence in Rio. He obtained exclusive information at the top of the police force and in prisons. He even worked on an intensive care bed when he was dealing with a chronic health problem.
It was cut from the channel with the justification of cost cutting. He resorted to resigning to deal with unemployment. “There is life outside TV Globo,” he declared at the time.
The veteran decided to reinvent himself on the Internet. 1 year ago he launched “Canal do Tchao” on YouTube. Interview security experts and victims of media crimes. In the end he dedicated himself to politics and also to one of his passions, football.
Some Globo colleagues have already been on the talk show, such as journalists Tino Marcos, Flávia Jannuzzi and André Curvello. Snippets of conversations are shared on TikTok.
On his Instagram profile, Tchao posts images of crimes and police actions. The tone is one of denunciation to the authorities and of warning to the frightened population. “We are abandoned,” she protested in a content in which she spoke of violence and aggression against the victim.
The journalist demonstrates that autonomy away from TV is good for his career. The debates he launches are revealing and deserve to gain audiences on digital platforms. We need more communicators who talk about the violence in the country without falling into unnecessary police tones.
