From 1996 to 2011 he was the editor-in-chief and anchorman of Bom Dia Brasil ("Good Morning Brazil"). He also served, from 1982 to 1983, as the presenter of Jornal da Globo.[1]
Career
[edit]He graduated in Law and Journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro and began his career in radio in 1970. In 39 years of profession, the reporter, presenter and editor worked for the BBC. Later, he worked for Jornal do Brasil and the defunct Rede Manchete (where he presented Noite Dia, the new name for Jornal da Manchete Segunda Edição).[2]
Renato began his career in theater, participating in amateur groups and acting in productions such as The Tempest, by William Shakespeare, and in The Terrible Children and Antigone. With the inauguration of Rede Globo de Televisão, in 1965, he acted in two soap operas as a supporting actor: Rosinha do Sobrado, the network's second soap opera, and the first version of A Moreninha, both starring Marília Pêra. At TV Excelsior , he worked on the first version of Sangue do Meu Sangue, from 1969 to 1970. He also dubbed American series and, in 1966, acted in the film O Mundo Alegre de Helô.[3]
He was an international correspondent based in New York, and covered elections, political and economic negotiations, agreements and wars in Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and the Persian Gulf. Back in Brazil, he did special reports for Fantástico and Globo Repórter.
He presented Jornal da Globo in 1982-1983, RJTV between 1989-1990 and 1992, Jornal Nacional occasionally from 1995 to 2011, and Fantástico Especial on December 31, 1995.[2]
In 1982, he presented the first Plantão JN, about the Falklands War. That program was the first on Brazilian television. At the time, the image on the screen was Plantão JN, and Renato spoke off-screen.
From 1996 to 2011, Renato was the editor-in-chief and presenter of Bom Dia Brasil, where he led a team of approximately 30 people. During this period, the news program changed its focus a little to include more culture, music and gastronomy. For most of this period, he shared the news desk with Renata Vasconcellos.
He was also one of the occasional presenters of Jornal Nacional, replacing William Bonner and Fátima Bernardes.[4]
Renato is a classical music lover and is known in Brazil as a great connoisseur of wines and gastronomy. In addition to being a wine critic for the newspaper O Globo and Rádio CBN, he is the author of the series Reserva Especial, produced by the GNT channel. The program reveals the secrets of the art of producing the best wines in Europe. He shared the presentation of the program Menu Confiança with the French chef based in Brazil Claude Troisgros, where he paired wines and recipes.
He was married to columnist Danuza Leão.[5] He is the father of actress Maria Eduarda Machado, who starred in the soap opera Malhação in 2007. In 2009, Renato had to undergo a last-minute bypass surgery, which left him away from Bom Dia Brasil for over a month, being replaced by journalist Márcio Gomes. In January 2011, after his vacation, Renato returned to host Bom Dia Brasil, only accumulating the role of presenter, giving way to Miguel Athayde as editor-in-chief of the news program. In September of the same year, he returned to being an international correspondent in London,[6] with stories for Globo's news programs and a weekly column in Jornal da Globo. On December 11, 2015, during Bom Dia Brasil, Renato announced his departure from the London news program and his return to Brazil.[7] Upon returning to Brazil, the journalist began working at Globo Repórter as a special reporter. His first report for the program aired in June 2016 with a report by Machado about a ballerina from Morro da Mangueira who became a star in New York.
In November 2021, Machado was fired by Rede Globo, after more than 40 years of service.[8]
