Question

Based on this information, what can be concluded about the Venezuelan people's access to news?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Venezuela is a South American nation located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, which since the end of the 20th century has been governed by a dictatorial process (hidden under a supposed democracy) called "Bolivarian Revolution", established by the late Hugo Chavez and today led by his successor, Nicolas Maduro.

As a consequence of this situation, the political, civil and economic freedoms of the citizens of Venezuela have been cut off, which has generated not only a huge poverty rate but also a general economic crisis and a wave of Venezuelan migrants fleeing to other countries.

However, most of the media do not reproduce the information of this situation, since they are media controlled directly by the government, and respond to its interests. As a consequence, Venezuelans also suffer from serious misinformation about the consequences of the acts carried out by the government, in addition to a lack of freedom regarding access to knowledge and information emanating from the press.
