According to this column syringesThe channel does not allow its journalists to moderate paid external events.
When contacted, Globo said it would not comment on the matter.
According to sources in the column, there have been a number of complaints from journalists and sports professionals at Globo calling for outside agencies to be cleared, particularly after the channel adopted the “lowwage” model. According to the sources, several professionals still run events, but the broadcaster usually turns a “blind eye” on it.
However, Globo’s management does not allow the practice and continues to punish closures.
