Paulo Cabral covers Brazil for CGTN, with a particular focus on business stories. He joined the channel in 2007 and is based in São Paulo.
Cabral started out as a business reporter in his native Brazil but after a few years went on to an
international career, having worked for BBC for about nine years, initially as a producer and presenter in the BBC World Service, in London, and then as a correspondent in Washington D.C., Cairo and lately in his hometown, São Paulo.
In these positions, Cabral has covered a range of stories from big summits and economic conferences to natural disasters and wars in over 30 countries around the globe.
Cabral has worked for print media, radio, television, news portals and last year completed a Master’s Degree, in the University of São Paulo, with research of ‘hypermedia documentaries’, his new field of interest in media languages and formats.
