Bio
He was an editor for O Cruzeiro and Manchete magazines;

He held management positions at Rádio Clube do Brasil, Rádio Mauá, Rádio Globo, and Rádio Nacional in Rio de Janeiro, and at Rádio Excelsior in São Paulo.

He carried out graphic redesigns for newspapers such as A Crítica (Manaus), O Liberal (Belém), Gazeta do Povo (Curitiba), Jornal de Brasília (Brasília), and Diário da Manhã (Goiânia).

In Brasília, he was editor of the Aparte section of Correio Braziliense and executive director of the Fundação Cultural do Distrito Federal.
 
In the 1950s, he participated in the reform of Jornal do Brasil – where he created the Suplemento Dominical do Jornal do Brasil, Caderno de Domingo, and Caderno B.

The SDJB became Brazil's most important literary supplement for concrete poetry, featuring contributions from Oliveira Bastos and Mário Faustino.

Forced to leave JB in 1964 due to military repression, Reynaldo Jardim became director of Senhor magazine and director of television journalism for the newly inaugurated TV Globo. In 1967, he created the school-newspaper O Sol with creative texts and an innovative graphic design.

Widowed from his first marriage, in which he had two children: Teresa and his deceased son Joaquim, he married journalist Elaina Maria Daher, who, despite working outside the home and managing the household, fully supports her husband's art. Elaina likes to say: “I worry about unimportant things, like paying bills and grocery shopping, while Reynaldo worries about what is important, like quantum physics, modern poetry, and the cosmos.” He arrived in Brasília, where he lives with his wife and their three children (Rafael, Gabriel, and Micael), in 1988.

Reynaldo Jardim maintained a daily poetry column from 2004 to 2006 in Caderno B of Jornal do Brasil. In 1968, he had a similar experience, with one poem per day, in Jornal de Vanguarda, broadcast by TV Rio, where he commented live in verse on the day's most important event.

He wrote several books of poems, including: Paixão segundo Barrabas, Maria Bethânia Guerreira Guerrilha, Joana em flor, Viva o Dia, Cantares Prazeres, Lagartixa escorregante na parede de domingo.
