ASSIS CHATEAUBRIAND

 

Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand Bandeira de MeIo nasceu a 5 de outubro de 1892, no final do século XIX, em Umbuzeiro, no Estado da Paraíba.

Custeou seus próprios estudos até se tornar advogado e, depois, pro­fessor catedrático de Direito Romano, Senador, Embaixador e Membro da Academia Brasileira de Letras.

Mas Chateaubriand foi, antes de tudo, um jornalista — ou um repór­ter, como se autodefinia. Um jornalista que acabou construindo o com­plexo empresarial chamado Diários Associados, por meio do qual pres­tou inestimáveis serviços ao país. “Em toda a minha vida, tenho sido ape­nas um repórter”, dizia ele. Mas Assis Chateaubriand foi muito além da notícia, mesmo quando, aos 14 anos, começou a escrever para o Jornal de Recife e o Diário de Pernambuco, fazendo comentários políticos e en­trevistando personalidades que chegavam nos navios.

O diário O Jornal, adquirido em 1924, foi o ponto de partida para o complexo empresarial que iria formar, incluindo o Diário da Noite de São, Paulo, o Estado de Minas em Belo Horizonte, o Correio Braziliense — em 1960, na inauguração de Brasília — o Jornal do Commercio do Rio de Janeiroeo Diário de Pernambuco — estes, os dois mais antigos jornais em circulação da América Latina — e mais de 30 jornais em todo o País. Foi também Assis Chateaubriand quem lançou o Brasil na era da televi­são, inaugurando a TV Tupi Difusora São Paulo em 1950. Era a primeira estação de TV da América Latina e a ela se juntaram 18 estações asso­ciadas. Antes de ser um empresário de comunicação, criador de um com­plexo empresarial que espalhava jornais, revistas e emissoras de rádio e televisão por todos os Estados do Brasil, Assis Chateaubriand foi um ho­mem de muita comunicação. Por isso, criou também um império de ami­gos. Hoje, Chateaubriandcontinuafazendoamigos,24anosdepoisde sua morte.

Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand Bandeira de MeIo morreu no dia 4 de abril de 1968, em pleno ato de viver, mas suas idéias e obras conti­nuam vivas, algumas nas memórias e outras no dia-a-dia de todos nós.

ASSIS CHATEAUBRIAND

 

Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand Bandeira de MeIo was born on October 5, 1892 at the end of the 19th century in Umbuzeiro city, State of Paraíba.

He paid his studies until he became a lawyer and, afterwards, a college professor of Roman Law. He has also been Senator, Ambassador and Member of the Brazilian Literature Academy.

But Chateaubriand has been, above all, a journalist or a reporter —as he called himself. A journalist that has built the entrepreneurial complex named “Diários Associados” through which he has rendered priceless services to the country. “Through all my life I have only been a reporter”, he would say. But Assis Chateaubriand went far beyond news, even when — at 14 years old — he started to write to “Jornal de Recife” and “Diário de Pernambuco” making political comments and interviewing personalities that arrived on the ships.

The daily newspaper “O Jornal” — purchased in 1924 — was the starting point for the entrepreneurial complex he would built later on. The complex included also “Diário da Noite” in São Paulo, “Estado de Minas” in the city of Belo Horizonte, “Correio Braziliense” — in 1960, inauguration of the city of Brasília — “Jornal do Commercio” in Rio de Janeiro, “Diário de Pernambuco” — these two the oldest Latin American newspapers in circulation — and more than 30 newspapers in the whole country. It has also been Assis Chateaubriand the one who launched Brazil in the television age by inaugurating “Tupi Difusora São Paulo” TV in 1950. It was the first TV station of Latin America and 18 associated stations joined it. Before becoming communication businessman, creator of an entrepreneurial complex that spreaded newspapers, magazines and radio and television stations around Brazil, Assis Chateaubriand was a man of great communication. Thus, he has also created an empire of friends. Chateaubriand is still making friends, 24 years after his death.

Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand Bandeira de Meio died on April 4, 1968, in the middle of the living act. But his ideas and works are still alive:

some in the memories and some others in our daylives.
