Journalist Jorge Dorio died early this Wednesday at the age of 65, after suffering a heart attack. As LA NACIÓN learned, he had been hospitalized for several days in the Municipal Hospital of the Buenos Aires district of Trenque Lauquen, after having decompensated while giving a talk in Salliqueló.
Jorge Dorio was born on March 26, 1958 in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Barracas, into a family where culture was always present: his father was the renowned actor, playwright and director Jorge Dorio. The patriarch of the family had an extensive career and covered all the media of the time: he went through theater, radio, television, cinema, dubbing and advertising. Jorge Jr., like his sisters Julieta and Melina, decided to dedicate themselves to journalism.
After a brief time at the Faculty of Medicine and with poetry always present, he found the space he was looking for on the radio. His debut came in 1984 with Martín Caparrós in the program Sueño de una noche de Belgrano. The beginning was auspicious: the broadcast won the España Radiodiversión award for the best Spanish-speaking radio program. Then it was the turn of another hit on the dial: Revenge will be terrible, where he shared talks with Alejandro Dolina. It was with Dolina that he landed on TV and on Channel 7 he took his first steps with La barra de Dolina.
Dorio’s career was constant: in 2007 he started with Si esta no es la siesta, on Radio de la Ciudad, a program that he moved to the radio station La Voz de las Madres in 2010 and which he hosted with Eric Calcagno. In addition, he returned to Revenge will be terrible during his time in Del Plata, until 2015. He also worked at Radio Nacional, where this year the new authorities did not renew his contract.
Television was where his career gained visibility. He started in 1986, also with Caparrós, in El monitor argentino. Later he was part of the cycles Badía & Compañía, with Juan Alberto Badía, and ABL, with Diego Bonadeo. In an absolute change of course, he agreed to be part of the Big Brother debate as a panelist, in the first five seasons, between 2001 and 2007. He was also part of the Bien Tarde cycle, with Fabián Gianola.

His most remembered role on television, due to the political weight of the program and the historical moment, was the one he had in 678, Diego Gvirtz’s message that aired on Public Television during much of the two governments of Cristina Fernández de Kircher. Dorio hosted the program from 2013 to 2015. “I think 678 was the cursed fact of bourgeois journalism,” he defined in the 2019 version of Intratables hosted by Fabián Doman. “I would do it again,” he said later.
Without fear of disruptive spaces, in 2020 he accepted José María Muscari’s offer and took the stage of Sex, one of the most provocative plays on the Buenos Aires scene, where he shared the stage with artists such as Gloria Carrá and Diego Ramos. There the journalist presented the show, did a monologue and talked about sex in politics. After that experience, Dorio was part of the program Uno Más Uno Tres, hosted by journalist Santiago Cúneo and broadcast on the Canal 22 streaming signal.
Dorio, who would have turned 66 on March 26, also made a career in the world of graphic journalism and in the literary environment. After some collaborations in the newspaper Convicciones, he directed the Babel magazine with Caparrós and published several books authored by him.

Although his main job was related to the media, being the son of the renowned actor Jorge Dorio, his life was always strongly linked to that profession. This is why Dorio had some appearances on the big screen throughout his career.
The first time he appeared on screen was in 1992, when he debuted in the film The Dark Side of the Heart, alongside Darío Grandinetti, Nacha Guevara, Andrea Tenuta and the Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti. Four years later she worked on Kisses on the forehead, starring China Zorrilla and Carolina Papaleo. In 2001 he played Carlos Guerrero in the film The Portrait of Felicitas, where he shared the cast with Pancho Ibáñez and Jean Pierre Noher.
