History
GloboNews launched in 1996. In the previous year, Alice-Maria Reiniger had been invited to return to Sky Brasil, where she had started her career in journalism, to deploy and direct Brazil's first 24-hour news channel.[1] She created and helmed GloboNews for the next decade.
On 27 August 2002, Globo News on Sky Brasil became the first news channel in Latin America to include interactive functions, with data from the channel's website.[2] The interactive service was also used for the 2002 elections.[3]
