Leila Braga Sterenberg (Rio de Janeiro, September 17, 1971) is a Brazilian journalist.
Career[edit]
Graduating from the School of Communication at UFRJ in 1992, Leila Sterenberg took the Abril Journalism Course and began her career in the mainstream media in 1993 as a reporter for Veja Rio. In 1995, she moved to New York, where she became a correspondent for O Globo and contributed to magazines such as Capricho, Claudia, and Showbizz. The following year, she was hired by the American company Bloomberg and became the first Brazilian to do radio and TV for the company.
After two years in the United States, she returned to the Brazilian press and accepted a new invitation from Veja Rio to work as an assistant editor. In 1998, she became anchor and editor-in-chief of the first edition of DFTV, a local news program on TV Globo Brasília. In 2000, she moved back to Rio de Janeiro and joined GloboNews, where she regularly hosted Em Cima da Hora (later renamed Jornal Globo News). She stood out in live coverage of events such as the bus hijacking of the 174 bus, the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the arrest of Saddam Hussein, the 2007 Pan-American Games, the release of the Colombian senator Ingrid Betancourt kidnapped by the FARC, the first inauguration of Barack Obama, the death of Michael Jackson, the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, the Arab Spring, the Mensalão trial, the conclave that elected Pope Francis, the 2013 protests in Brazilian cities, the rupture of the Mariana dam in 2015, the 2017 French and German elections, the tensions in Venezuela in 2018, the start of the Covid pandemic in 2020, the 2020 US elections, the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and the attacks on the Three Powers' headquarters in Brazil in 2023. On this occasion, Rede Globo and GloboNews carried out simultaneous coverage, and it was the first time that the Globo Group's management had brought together its two teams for the same news coverage. Poliana Abritta, Erick Bang, and Leila Sterenberg served as presenters, while Fernando Gabeira, Merval Pereira, Valdo Cruz, Natuza Nery, Andreia Sadi, Julia Duailibi, Octavio Guedes, Marcelo Lins, Camila Bonfim, and Eliane Cantanhêde were the team's commentators.[1]
As a polyglot, fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and German, Sterenberg developed her skills as an interviewer. Initially for Conta Corrente Especial and Almanaque, and later for Milênio and Especial de Domingo, she interviewed international personalities such as Pascal Lamy, then-president of the World Trade Organization;[2] French sociologist Alain Touraine; then-French minister Christine Lagarde; Franco-German thinker Daniel Cohn-Bendit; German novelist and jurist Bernhard Schlink;[3] actors Daniel Brühl, Willem Dafoe, and Audrey Tautou; conductor Zubin Mehta; American sociologist Saskia Sassen; historian Niall Ferguson; economists Jim O'Neill and Deirdre McCloskey; Spanish writer Fernando Savater; Cuban singer Omara Portuondo; Italian philosopher Emanuele Coccia; and American ethnographer Benjamin Teitelbaum, among many others. She has even conducted interviews in Russian, a language she speaks only incipiently.[4]
