What's the first image that comes to mind when you think of journalists?! Have you ever heard a "good evening" in the style of the Jornal Nacional (Brazilian national news program) or can you imagine any other situation when you think of journalism?
Of course there are many areas to work in as a journalistHowever, we cannot forget that we have a preconceived image in our minds of what we think of as an information professional. Along with this image comes a certain shock when we see a journalist doing something different from the conventional.
The path from journalism to entertainment.
There are plenty of examples of names that have transitioned from journalistic reporting to entertainment: Fátima Bernardes, Tiago Leifert, Patrícia Poeta Among other things. Some of these changes generated a lot of discussion on social media; after all, who doesn't remember all the "controversy" surrounding the end of TV Globinho and the creation of Encontro com Fátima?
From sports and political coverage, to years as a news anchor at one of the country's biggest newspapers, and now hosting a morning show, Fátima Bernardes has captivated an entire nation: from saying "good night" to "good morning," and also starring in television advertising campaigns.
But these aren't the only cases of journalists who surprised the public. Want to know more? Check out the list below:
Evaristo Costa
The presenter became famous for his irreverent and humorous tone, "dad jokes" to be more precise, on the Jornal Hoje news program. Alongside Sandra Annenberg, he formed a duo that left many people missing him after the announcement of his departure to take a sabbatical year. Away from his work as a journalist, Evaristo maintained his presence and contact with the public through social media, mainly Twitter.
Ana Paula Standard
For many, it might even seem a little strange to remember that the Masterchef presenter has worked as a news anchor on several networks. The journalist and presenter has anchored Jornal da Globo, Jornal do SBT, and Jornal da Record. Her move to another network brought an even bigger change of pace, which is when the countdown to dish delivery became a permanent part of her career.
Renata Ceribelli
The journalist surprised many people in recent days after appearing dressed as a brigadeiro (a Brazilian chocolate truffle) on the stage of the reality show The Masked Singer Brasil. If there's one thing nobody imagined, it's that behind that costume was a journalist who... escaped a lion attack in one of his reports on Globo TV.
Thaddeus Schmidt
If you stop to analyze it calmly, the journalist's playful tone could already be a hint at this career change. But it's very likely that the news that the sports journalist will be the new presenter of... Big Brother Brazil It caught many viewers by surprise! Soon, the Fantástico show's mascots will have a new companion to narrate the Brazilian soccer matches.
