LATIN AMERICA: MORE MEDIA FIGHT BACK
The information war:
BBC: "If they kill me, the name of the person responsible is
[President] George Bush," Mr Chavez said.*
Now Chávez Launches Hemispheric, “Anti-Hegemonic” Media Campaign in Response to Local TV Networks Anti-Government Bias:
*
Telesur, a new network scheduled to cover news throughout South America, is the latest player in Chávez’s war against opposition media.
*
Opposition TV stations resort to unprofessional behavior.
*
Will Telesur be objective or doomed to be used as a government propaganda channel?
*
Before knocking it, prospective critics should watch to see how Telesur's operations unfold.
In Venezuela, the war for the hearts and minds of its citizens is now in full swing. With the imminent launching of the government-sponsored Televisora del Sur (Telesur), network control of the country’s existing media, including Univisión and CNN en Español, might sorely be put to the test. According to plans, the network will start transmitting in late June or early July and will offer news and opinion programming 24 hours a day.
For journalists now being recruited by Telesur, the creation of the network is long overdue. “Telesur's reason for being is the need to see Latin America with Latin American eyes,” said Aram Aharonian, its new director. “It's our right to have our own vision of what happens in Latin America, and not what Europeans or Americans, or whoever, tell us about how we are, who we are.”
