Career
He has spent most of his professional life in television journalism and is currently a Brazilian television news anchorman. Casoy"s journalism career started when he worked as a reporter for the now extinct television network television Tupi in 1961. During the 1960s, in the early phases of the military dictatorship in Brazil, he was charged by the press with belonging to a paramilitary right-wing organization, Commando for Communist Hunting (Comando de Caça aos Comunistas, Commodity Credit Corporation) which was aimed with harassing and bullying leftist students.
From 1974 to 1984, Casoy worked in the Paulista newspaper, Folha de South.Paulo - firstly as chief editor, a position in which he had to share power with the redaction director, the Trotskyist sympathizer Cláudio Abramo.
However, in September 1977, Casoy resumed his earlier position, after the military threatened to intervene in the paper, holding Abramo responsible for the publication in the paper of a chronicle, by Lourenço Diaféria, deemed as demeaning to the historical figure of the Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias, the civic patron of the Brazilian Army. In 1988, Casoy returned to television as the anchor of a new newscast for SBT, Telejornal Brasil (TJ Brasil, for short).
TJ Brasil ran from 1988 until being canceled in 1997. After TJ Brasil, he became the main anchor of Rede Record"s national news, Jornal da Record.
Casoy was fired from television Record in late December 2005 – officially, for disagreements with changes that the station wanted to make on his program
After being fired from Rede Record, Casoy returned to television, but this time on a small regional television network in Rio de Janeiro, television JB. He was the main anchor to the main newscast, Telejornal do Brasil. On April 14, 2008, Boris Casoy returned to national television on Rede Bandeirantes as the main anchor for its nightly newscast, Jornal da Noite. Casoy also presents the news in Rede Bandeirantes radio news network, BandNews FM. In the very beginning of 2010, Casoy was involved in a scandal: after a television news broadcast in which two street sweepers appeared offering season"s greetings, he offered a private comment during commercials, without noticing that the audio channel was inadvertently open: "Shit, two garbage men offering greetings from atop their brooms.. the lowest rung of the working ladder" – a comment for which he had to apologize in public.
