Jovem Pan today fired commentator Diogo Schelp and editorinchief Virgílio Dias, as well as a digital officer. The broadcaster confirmed the information in contact with Squirt.
The report found that the layoffs were motivated by a financial crisis, without reference to the station’s editorial decisions. The broadcaster chose not to justify the layoffs.
The biggest financial problems arose from the demonetization of YouTube channels It was determined that Jovem Pan’s ownership would account for a third of the group’s internet sales Squirt.
Diogo Schelp commented on the dismissal. “For me, a very challenging cycle of almost three years is coming to an end, largely due to the altercations with other commentators at the height of the pandemic. What I can say is that management has always given me complete freedom in my comments “that I have been able to stay true to my principles,” he said in an exclusive conversation with the reporter.
Given the difficulties Jovem Pan faced, the news did not surprise me. Other outstanding specialists have been laid off in recent days.
