In his over two decades of professional experience, the journalist Tiago Scheuer, originally from Santa Catarina, has tackled some challenges, such as a live dive with sharks, and achieved various milestones. One of these milestones begins this Friday (31) as he takes over the hosting duties of the Hora 1 telejournal. Born in Jaraguá do Sul, Xoia, as he is known, mentions that his passion for journalism emerged in childhood. ‘I always liked it since I was little, I used to play around with my father’s camera back in 1990. At the age of 7, I was already playing with my father’s camera, recording everything and everyone, and making recordings as if I were a film director. I believe journalism helped me to tell these stories in a professional manner and try to be as fair as possible with the information,’ he said in an exclusive interview with NSC Total.
Commencement of Career The journey for this Jaraguaense started during his journalism degree at the University of Vale do Itajaí (Univali). Through an extension project, Scheuer joined the university’s radio team. Initially, he volunteered and later earned a scholarship to continue his internship. In the sixth semester of college, he was also approved to work on Univali’s TV channel. ‘It was wonderful because we had teachers guiding us all the time and we worked with other academics, along with our colleagues. And that was very good because it prepared us for the practical side, while we did the theoretical in evening classes,’ he recalls. The opportunities he secured during his degree reflected in his early post-graduate work in 2005. At that time, he worked for five months at a radio station in Balneário Camboriú before being hired by a commercial television station in Itajaí. From 2008 to 2010, he worked at the same network in Florianópolis.
In the same year, he took on one of the most significant challenges of his career, working at the Deutsche Welle network in Germany. Scheuer mentioned that although his father could speak German due to the family’s Germanic descent and Jaraguá do Sul’s culture, he only learned the language during his year in the European country. Arrival at TV Globo In 2011, he returned to Santa Catarina already planning the next steps in his career. Scheuer was then invited to take on a temporary role at RBS TV, the Globo affiliate in Blumenau, now NSC TV. He accepted the challenge but already had plans to move to São Paulo, a dream he had since his college days. ‘There [in Blumenau], I worked with great friends from college as well. It was a wonderful phase, telling many challenging stories, including. And then I came to São Paulo, I was called to spend a month here in GloboNews. So, for me, it was fantastic,’ he recalls.
He joined the network on May 11, 2011, on his birthday. Scheuer describes the opportunity as a ‘great gift.’ In August of the same year, he moved to Globo. ‘I joke that it’s the longest month of my life because 14 years have passed,’ he says. Journalism Ascension The journalist believes his career rose due to his commitment and credibility over the years. He has been working daily at Globo for 14 years. ‘But I came with a background as well, so I didn’t start at Globo. But Globo contributed significantly to my professional growth. I believe I am a different professional since I arrived here. I think this turning point started with overnight coverages. Because I was a reporter arriving in the early hours and suddenly I was doing network news. It was already a recognition from my superiors, the way I engaged in the reports and how I brought them to the newsroom, always with the responsibility I learned a lot in Santa Catarina,’ he recounts.
Landmark Reports Tiago Scheuer started at TV Globo as a reporter. Still at GloboNews, he worked the overnight shift, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. He spent a year and nine months during this time, which helped him grow within the network, including his first reports and live appearances on network news such as Jornal da Globo and Bom Dia Brasil. During this time, he covered important national issues that impacted the country at large, such as a series of massacres in São Paulo between 2012 and 2013, mainly carried out at night. ‘It was a very intense coverage situation for us during the night because we received the news and had to rush around, go here and there to cover it, report, count the dead, etc. It was a coverage that lasted several days and was very significant at the time,’ he states. Alongside the journalism team, he also managed to produce lighter content, such as a series about evening singers performing in bars and restaurants.
When he joined Globo, he was immediately assigned to cover the 2013 protests sparked by the increase in bus fares by 20 cents. He mentions that the coverage was intense and contributed to his career as a journalist. At the time, he also worked on various network news programs, such as Bom Dia São Paulo, and began implementing different ideas for stories and live broadcasts to engage the audience. ‘Bom Dia São Paulo was very important in my journey here because I visibly evolved day by day in the eyes of the public, doing live broadcasts, which I always loved doing. I’ve done live rappelling down a mountain, I’ve done live dives with a wobbegong shark, I’ve done live biking. The turning point began there because I showed versatility, not just a news guy, but someone who also participates in the news in a slightly more relaxed and light-hearted way,’ he shares.
In 2015, he was invited to train for the weather forecast segment. This invitation was the opportunity to transition from field reporting to the studio as a presenter. ‘I transitioned from reporting to also doing occasional studio work, covering vacation periods in weather forecasting. I started training there with Maju Coutinho and Eliana Marques. Today they are two references we have… The rest is history. My debut was on May 1st, 2015, on the weather forecast segment of Hora 1. So, it’s a news program I’m already familiar with,’ he states.
Move to Hora 1 This Thursday (30) marks Tiago Scheuer’s last day on Bom Dia São Paulo and the transition to hosting Hora 1. As of Friday (31), he officially takes over the hosting duties of Hora 1, the news program that kicks off Globo’s daily programming schedule. ‘This moment is the most important of my career. I think it was worth it, and I’m very happy because it’s a huge responsibility to anchor a news program. We don’t do things alone, and there’s always a lot of trust in the background. But it’s a responsibility. Continuing the legacy of [Roberto] Kovalik, who came and transformed Hora 1, becoming a very important brand on Globo’s lineup,’ he mentions. Changing Roles at Globo Also on Friday (31), there will be a change in the hosting of Jornal Nacional. William Bonner will pass on the presenter’s role to César Tralli, who will then take over the position alongside Renata Vasconcellos. The current deputy editor-in-chief of the telejournal, Cristiana Sousa Cruz, will assume the editor-in-chief role.
With these adjustments, Roberto Kovalik will take on Jornal Hoje, while Tiago Scheuer will replace him on Hora 1. From 2026 onwards, Bonner and Sandra Annenberg will co-host Globo Repórter. Watch the invitation to watch Hora 1
