Roberto Pisani Marinho was a publisher and businessman who expanded into radio and television, creating a large, successful media conglomerate known as Organizações Globo. He founded and was the president of the Brazilian TV channel, Globo, a television network that now has 113 stations and associates.
Marinho was criticized in the British documentary, Beyond Citizen Kane, for his role in founding TV Globo and ties to the military dictatorship of the period. Globo went to court to prevent release and showing of the film in Brazil, but it went viral on the Internet after the turn of the 21st century. By his death, Marinho was a billionaire several times over.
