Founded by journalist Irineu Marinho, owner of ''A Noite'', it was originally intended as a morning daily to extend the newspaper interests of the company.

At age 21, he started working as a trainee reporter for the paper and later became managing editor.

An active supporter of the military dictatorship that lasted from 1964 to 1985 in Brazil, ''O Globo'' is still considered a righ ...
