Ernesto Paglia (born 9 April 1959, in São Paulo) is a Brazilian television journalist currently working for Rede Globo. Studied Journalism at the School of Communications and Arts at the University of São Paulo. Began working at 19, while still in the third year of Journalism School, (which requires 4 years in Brazil). Paglia was hired as reporter by Jovem Pan radio, but lasted only 3 months in this first job. He was fired after taking part in a strike led by the Journalist Union of S.Paulo in May 1979. Immediately after, began working as nightshift reporter for the S.Paulo local station of Rede Globo, the main Brazilian commercial television network. In 1980, only one year later, Paglia was already being assigned to cover important events, such as the São Bernardo's metalworkers' strikes that opposed the military regime and brought to prominence the future two-term president, then union leader Luís Inácio "Lula" da Silva. The same year, Paglia joined one of two special itinerary crews created by Globo to cover the first visit of Pope John Paul II to Brazil.
In 1982, Paglia was sent to Spain for his first FIFA World Cup coverage. He would take part in the news coverage of 7 other World Cups (Mexico (1986), Italy (1990), USA (1994), Japan/S. Korea (2002)), Germany (2006), South Africa (2010) and Brazil (2014) mostly doing feature stories but also covering football events. Paglia also integrated the crews sent by Globo to the Olympic Games of Barcelona (1992), Atlanta (1996), Beijing (2008) and the Rio (2007) Pan American Games.
