Reinaldo Gottino to return to Cidade Alerta after health issues

Journalist Reinaldo Gottino has confirmed he will return to hosting the program ‘Cidade Alerta’ on Record following a recent hospitalization in the interior of São Paulo. Gottino revealed he had been suffering from a severe case of the flu characterized by intense coughing, which required medical intervention including inhalation treatments.

In addition to his health update, Gottino discussed his journalistic philosophy regarding his role as the host of the high-audience police program. He stated that he does not wish to use his platform to propagate further violence, emphasizing the importance of humanizing crime journalism and avoiding the exaggeration of tragedies. He noted that the program serves social functions, such as helping locate missing persons and capturing fugitives, while maintaining a personal ritual of prayer to manage the emotional weight of the content.
