Roberto Cabrini is on the rise again: "No Rastro da Notícia" returns to the list of best-selling journalistic biographies on Amazon

The legendary journalist's work, which has topped the list twice, is winning over the public and is ranked 11th in Biographies; see why Cabrini's book continues to attract readers and be shared on social media.

Journalist Roberto Cabrini has once again appeared among Amazon Brazil's best-selling authors with his book "No Rastro da Notícia," which, as of Tuesday the 29th, ranks 11th in the Journalist Biographies category. The book, published by Editora Planeta in 2019, had already reached first place in December 2021 and returned to the top spot in January of this year, an achievement that establishes the power of Cabrini's name and the timeless relevance of his work.

At 304 pages, "On the Trail of the News" presents never-before-seen details of some of the most remarkable reports from the journalist's 43-year career. Cabrini reveals, in direct and engaging language, behind-the-scenes stories of historic coverage, such as the discovery of the whereabouts of Paulo César Farias, treasurer to former President Fernando Collor de Mello; the behind-the-scenes details of Ayrton Senna's death; and the investigations into sexual abuse committed by prominent Brazilian priests against children and young people, a case that had international repercussions.

It took Cabrini five years to write the book. The journalist recounts in previous interviews that each of the ten chapters required him to emotionally and physically return to the crossroads he experienced in the field. He says he had to relive much more than just the events themselves, but everything that surrounded him: the risks, the dilemmas, the fears, the split-second decisions.

The return to the bestseller lists shows that the book continues to resonate with readers, even six years after its release. Whether among journalism students seeking inspiration or readers interested in the inner workings of news, "On the Trail of the News" has remained a benchmark in Brazilian journalistic literature.

A career that shaped investigative journalism

Francisco Roberto Cabrini began his career in communications at age 16 and, at 22, was already an international correspondent for TV Globo, the youngest correspondent in the country, working in New York. Since then, he has built one of the most solid careers in Brazilian television journalism, working for outlets such as Globo, SBT, TV Gazeta, and Record. His reporting has taken him to over 70 countries and earned him the country's top journalism awards, including the Esso, Comunique-se, Vladimir Herzog, and Tim Lopes awards.

The strength of his work lies in its meticulous research, the courage to go where few others go, and the sensitivity to give voice to the invisible. In times of misinformation and shallow content, Cabrini remains an example of commitment to the truth; and his book, a faithful portrayal of that commitment.

Connection that spans generations

The return of "No Rastro da Notícia" to Amazon's rankings reflects more than just numbers, as it signals how much audiences still identify with the search for justice, answers, and real stories. Amid changes in information consumption and journalism itself, the work remains relevant, powerful, and necessary.
