O Globo (Portuguese pronunciation:[uˈɡlobu],The Globe) is a Portuguese-language Brazilian newspaper based inRio de Janeiro.O Globo is the leading[6] daily newspaper in the country and the most prominent print publication in theGrupo Globo media conglomerate.[7]
Founded by journalistIrineu Marinho, owner ofA Noite, it was originally intended as a morning daily to extend the newspaper interests of the company. In time, it became the flagship paper of the group. When Irineu died weeks after the founding of the newspaper in 1925, it was inherited by his sonRoberto. At age 21, he started working as a trainee reporter for the paper and later became managing editor.
Roberto Marinho developedGrupo Globo (the conglomerate of media companies consisting ofO Globo,TV Globo,Rádio Globo,Editora Globo and other subsidiaries) as Brazil's largest media group, entering radio in the 1940s and TV in the 1960s, and picking up other interests.
An active supporter of themilitary dictatorship that lasted from 1964 to 1985 in Brazil,O Globo is still considered a right-wing, conservative newspaper,[1] although it has acknowledged in a 2013 editorial that its "support for the military coup was an error".[8]
As of 2022, O Globo was the leading newspaper in the country,[9] with more than 60,000 copies distributed on a daily basis. In the same year, O Globo was also leading the audience ranking for print media-owned websites, achieving a peak of more than 40 million unique visitors in October.[10]
It has been characterized by supporting themilitary during the process of political opening in Brazil during the 1980s. It has also been involved in other conflicts for misrepresenting information about popular demonstrations.[11]

It follows a stronglyliberal line in economic terms, having been a stubborn oppositionist to theprogressive governments ofLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva andDilma Rousseff.[4]
In 1994, just a day before the premiere in Brazil of the British documentaryBeyond Citizen Kane, at the Rio de Janeiro Modern Art Museum, theMilitary Police confiscated the copy of the film, obeying a court warrant in response to a suit filed by Globo. The film explored the establishment of Rede Globo, the largest television broadcaster in the country, and its ties to the military dictatorship of the period. The director of the museum was threatened with a heavyfine in case of disobedience. Due to the public outcry about the censorship, the Secretary of Culture of Rio de Janeiro was fired three days after the incident.[12]
In 1995, Globo requested in court the confiscation of copies available at the library of theUniversity of São Paulo, but the claim was overruled. The film was restricted to University groups until the 2000s. Globo's attempt to prevent release of the film in Brazil proved to be a failure following the Internet boom in the 2000s. Through the 1990s, the film was illegally screened in universities and political groups without public notice, and later it went "viral" on the Internet.
On 20 August 2009, the newspaperFolha de S. Paulo reported thatRede Record bought the broadcasting rights of the documentary for less than US$20,000. This followed a series of mutual attacks between Globo and Record because of Globo's reporting of a Public Ministry investigation ofEdir Macedo and other high-profile members of theUniversal Church of the Kingdom of God. Macedo has owned Rede Record since 9 November 1989.
