Overview
- Members of José Bonifácio de Oliveira Sobrinho’s team unearthed an old internal memorandum, which he then discussed in a video posted to Instagram.
- The document, reported as dated 1993, restricted flashy prints, bold stripes, colorful ties, large earrings and bright accessories for on‑air journalists.
- Boni said the rule aimed to prevent clothing and accessories from distracting viewers so attention would remain on the news text.
- Coverage described the guidance as part of the strict 'padrão Globo de qualidade' that fostered a sober, uniform presentation in Globo newscasts.
- Online commenters largely praised the explanation and called for the guidance to be reapplied, and there is no indication that Globo has reinstated it or formally responded.
