	pratirodh: Corporate media outraged: Venezuela expands free speech
		The corporate media have ignored the fact that 79 out of 81 TV stations, 706 out of 708 radio stations and all newspapers in Venezuela are privately owned, and that the majority of the private media are virulently anti-Chavez.
		At the heart of the campaign over the media in Venezuela is the Bolivarian revolution being led by the Chavez government, which is redistributing the nation’s wealth and breaking the economic and political power of the oligarchy.
		Yet the corporate media ignored students from the Bolivarian University — created by the Chavez government to provide free education to the poor excluded from the old universities — who marched off campus on May 29 according to a Bolivarian News Agency report, in a show of support for the RCTV decision.

	Uneasy Standoff in Venezuela's Media Wars
		Formed with funding from Venezuela (51%), Argentina (20%), Cuba (19%) and Uruguay (10%), Telesur is being hailed as a blow to cultural imperialism, and the private media are not pleased.
		Rojas acknowledges that part of the confrontation between the government and the media is due to the former's advocacy of socialism and the latter's defense of capitalism.
		But considering what the media has done, all the plotting and all of the absolute inflammatory accusations and propaganda against the government, I think the government is under siege by the media rather than the contrary.

	The GULLY \| Letter from Venezuela: Venezuela's Media Mindshock
		Venezuela has always been a country of political brute force tactics.
		Disinformation, flashing negative imagery, fear and stress induction techniques, quasi-hypnotic suggestion, excessive repetition, and falsification and forgery are just but a few of the mindshock techniques deliberately being used, not just in overtly political spots but also in regular programming.
		The year-long hate and anxiety-inducing exercise in media manipulation is not conducive to rational, let alone realistic, thought.

	Sharp Deterioration in Press Freedom Reported in Venezuela
		In a July 19 statement, an IAPA delegation that just returned from a three-day visit to Venezuela said repression of the press is marked by restrictive legislation, prosecution of journalists in the courts and harassment of news media.
		Daniels added that "we are concerned that far from improving conditions for the press” in Venezuela, “freedom may become even more restricted during and after the electoral process," which was a reference to the run-up to Venezuelan presidential elections scheduled for December.
		The Venezuela section of the report is available on the State Department Web site, as is the full text of the report.

		I compared Venezuelan media to media in the United States and also researched how much of an influence media from the United States had on Venezuela's media and culture.
		Venezuela's government tried to pass legislation ot limit press freedom and therefore this declaration did not pass in Venezuela.
		It ties the state of Venezuela's media to past political corruption from the oil revenues of the 1970's and the family domination in ownership.

	Venezuela Media Workers Speak (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Media owners must accept that they are a force in society and for that reason have a social responsibility, not only to the workforce but also to Venezuelan society.
		If companies or media owners support or prefer one of the poles or groups disputing political power in Venezuela, we demand that they make it clear that it is the employer's and not the worker's position.
		We propose that the media's social commitment, journalist ethics, work relationships and work contract obligations imposed on journalists become topics for debate between company and workers to reach harmony in media circles and society in general, a debate which must be undertaken free of the heat of political militancy.

	Baltimore Independent Media Center: Venezuela's RCTV Acts of Sedition (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Venezuela's five dominant corporate television broadcasters are repeat offenders having violated LSR provisions by their on-air programming with intent to incite violence and public support to destabilize and overthrow the Chavez government.
		A strong case can be made that RCTV and the rest of the dominant broadcast and print corporate media in Venezuela are guilty of most or all these related acts of treason under US law.
		The oligarchs running the Venezuelan corporate media might contemplate that fate and be grateful they operate in democratic Venezuela and not in the truly harsh environment of the United States.

	Venezuela’s press power, by Maurice Lemoine
		Venezuela’s ’hate media’ controls 95% of the airwaves and has a near-monopoly over newsprint, and it played a major part in the failed attempt to overthrow the president, Hugo Chávez, in April.
		Those misdeeds were then portrayed as the cause (and not the consequence) of the media’s unhappy relationship with the government and much of the population.
		Led by men of influence and top journalists, the media is taking over from other players in the process of destabilisation: Pedro Carmona’s employers’ association (Fedecámaras), Carlos Ortega’s Confederation of Venezuelan Workers, dissident members of the military, the technocrats of the national oil company (PDVSA) and a few discreet US officials (6).

		Though she has family in Venezuela and visits it often, she only became involved in the solidarity movement after the April 2002 coup against Chávez, which was strongly supported by the Bush administration.
		Media watchdogs in Caracas have reported that opposition media personalities, such as columnist Patricia Poleo, daughter of a wealthy newspaper owner, aside from giving full support to the violent and illegal coup in April 2002, may have also provoked terrorist attacks against government officials.
		Venezuela has "the right to self-determination," she stated emphatically, "without having somebody always pointing the finger and saying this is what you should do." She compared the current interference in Venezuela by the Bush administration to that of the Nixon administration in Chile in 1973.

	Venezuela Press, Media, TV, Radio, Newspapers
		Venezuela is bordered by Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana, and has coastline touching the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
		The print media, forced to abandon the publication of editorial opinions during the dictatorial regimes of the 1950s and before, avoided for many years the resumption of this practice.
		Venezuela's government has been given the tools with which to effectively silence opposition voices in the media through legal means.

	Venezuela's Media Coup
		In Venezuela, even color commentators are enlisted in the commercial media's open bid to oust the democratically elected government of Hugo Chavez.
		Venezuela's private television stations are owned by wealthy families with serious financial stakes in defeating Chavez.
		After all, Venezuela isn't the only country where a war is being waged over oil, where media owners have become inseparable from the forces clamoring for "regime change" and where the opposition finds itself routinely erased by the nightly news.

	Narco News: Venezuela Community Media Under Siege (Part I)
		The Community Media movement in Venezuela, managed democratically and on a local level by citizen volunteers, and strictly non-profit, is now in direct competition with what used to be known as the mass media, because the masses have changed the channel.
		And it was only because of the Community Broadcasters at independent media like Catia TV and Radio Catia Libre that the public had any idea that the counter-coup underway in their own neighborhoods was happening, simultaneously, like a lightning bolt of democracy, throughout the city and the nation.
		Again, according to Venezuela's top telecommunications official, it was the journalists of the Community Media movement who retook the censored national TV station and moved it back onto the airwaves.

	Community Media in Venezuela
		The explosion of Venezuela’s alternative and community media in the past year and half is owed to three related factors: the complete lack of balance with Venezuela’s private mainstream media, the successful overthrow of the April 2002 coup attempt, and the active legal support of the state for community media.
		During the coup, the community media filled the gap which the private mainstream media left when it played an active role in the coup and refused to broadcast the military and popular resistance against the coup government.
		While the mainstream media practiced a complete news flout of all pro-Chavez activity in the country, it was thanks to the alternative media (and to cell phones) that people found out that there was an active resistance against the coup regime.

	Fair, responsible media debatable in Venezuela (Site not responding. Last check: )
		What's happening with the broadcast media in Venezuela would be akin to media figures such as Ted Turner or Rupert Murdoch playing a role in the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign.
		He and other media owners no longer have their publications or networks simply report the news -- they are a part of it.
		The involvement of the media in the ongoing Venezuelan political debate was evident to me during the few days I spent there in May to observe a voter-verification process leading up to the recall.

	PR: 3.18 -- Venezuela's Media
		In an effort to make media coverage more representative of a wider section of Venezuelan society, if not explicitly fair to both the government and the country’s middle class opposition, government legislators and cabinet officers are pushing for a series of laws to regulate TV and radio programming.
		Venezuela’s four major private television networks control at least 85% of the market and their producers have lashed out at President Chavez with punishing, though not always merited, political low blows.
		In a media climate that disregards the concerns of Venezuela’s poor and often provokes strife, government officials are faced with the challenge of encouraging participative and democratic public debate.

	BBC NEWS \| Americas \| Venezuela's media war
		Government sympathisers accuse the private media of leading the fight against the "Bolivarian Revolution" in the absence of a credible and united political opposition.
		But the government blames the media for the eight-week general strike, which contributed to a 16.7% contraction of the economy in the final quarter of 2002, according to Central Bank figures.
		But "little by little", Mr Granier explained, "anti-democratic actions, actions violating the rule of law, attacks on journalists and attacks against the media have created the current situation in which the majority, not all, of the Venezuelan media are very concerned by the systematic and repeated violation of human rights".

		We began as the Venezuela media exchange, and quickly found that there was a desire to exchange and distribute independent media in solidarity with people's movements throughout the Americas.
		The Bolivarian Media Exchange is a group dedicated to fostering international relationships between independent media makers, distributing work from the south to the north, and bringing resources from the north to the south.

	[Media Watch] No freedom for the media in Venezuela?
		Much of the media internationally repeat the lies and half truths about the alleged "lack of freedom of the media" in Venezuela.
		TalCual is run by Teodoro Petkoff, a former leftist who was in charge of privatisations during the Caldera government and one of the main advisors to opposition candidate Manuel Rosales in the December presidential elections.
		In fact, as many in the alternative, community and free media in Venezuela insist, the main concern is not overof freedom of expression, but rather over the right to truthful information.

	When the Media Fails
		In that country the private media has openly and consciously sided with the political opposition, and in the process disgraced itself in the eyes of journalists worldwide.
		The broadcast media is most important, because that is the main source of information for the "swing voters" and Americans whose views are not determined by party affiliation.
		The media's complicity in such scams is therefore much worse than a problem of bias or passivity.

	Media, Propaganda and Venezuela - Global Issues
		And even aside from distribution, it must be recalled that the Venezuela suffered one of the worst economic declines in the region (and the world)—a 35 percent drop in per capita income from 1970-1998, prior to Chávez’ election.
		That is why the main victims of political repression in Venezuela are not opposition partisans, even those who have tried to overthrow the government, but rather the pro-government activists organizing for land reform in the countryside, who have been murdered by the landowners’ hired guns.
		Notes added about Venezuela’s growing influence in the Latin American region as an alternative to IMF/Washington-based influences helping countries on their way to aleviate many external debt and poverty woes, and about support for Venezuela’s possible position on the rotating seat of the UN Security Council which the US is against.

	Media, Propaganda and Venezuela
		In April 11 2002, there was a military coup in Venezuela, whereby president Hugo Chavez was deposed by a military dictatorship.
		He has made Venezuela a potential alternative to the IMF for other Latin American countries for funding and loans, signifying a major loss of influence of the United States in the region;
		And, Venezuela is also home to the largest currently known oil reserves in the world outside the Middle East.
