Júlia Pinheiro is a Portuguese television presenter with more than three decades of experience on screen. Throughout her career, she has presented the most varied television formats, from so-called "trash TV" to vigilante journalism, passing through "Queridas Manhãs," afternoon programs with her name, and more daring and charismatic formats. Particularly noteworthy is "A Noite da Má Língua," a SIC program in the 90s that marked the country by desecralizing the way the political class was talked about on Portuguese television, using humor, flair, and critical thinking. Júlia herself admits that this program left her "the bacteria of transgression."
In a conversation with Bernardo Mendonça, Júlia Pinheiro reveals some traits of her personality regarding work. She states that she is someone who reacts with intensity when something goes wrong due to lack of attention, admitting that she verbalizes her fury in these situations, but that the next day everything is resolved and the atmosphere becomes calm again.
The conversation also addresses the future of television in a context increasingly dominated by content consumption on YouTube and streaming platforms. Júlia Pinheiro reflects on the changes in the sector and on what annoys her to see on current television, although the article does not directly delve into these issues. Bernardo Mendonça conducts this interview where both the presenter's consolidated career and her perspectives on the evolution of the television medium are explored.
