Ali Kamel will leave Globo’s Journalism director-general in December and Ricardo Villela will be the new director | Media and Marketing

I will end by thanking all my colleagues, without exception, with whom I have worked in this long journey. All, in their own way, were outstanding: I learned from them, forged my convictions in the principles of good journalism, broadened my horizons. I quote a few. In his formative years at Rádio JB, Regina Bodstein, Carlos Grandin, Alceste Pinheiro and Ramiro Alves, who died so young; Dorrit Harazim, at Veja; and Elizabeth Carvalho, at the end. At Globo, master Evandro Carlos de Andrade, who left us in 2001. And, of course, my friend and companion Merval Pereira. I also mention Rodolfo Fernandes and Jorge Bastos Moreno, who left so prematurely, with whom I became friends and with whom I shared so many stories and reports. At Globo, I focus my tributes on four dear people: Silvia Faria, Maria Thereza Pinheiro, our Terezoca, and Carlos Henrique Schroder, with whom I shared most of my journey here. And William Bonner, companion of a world of toppings. Quoting them, I express my recognition and gratitude to everyone with whom I lived during these wonderful years of fruitful and successful work. Globo’s journalism is excellent because its professionals are excellent. All of them, whom I thank now.
