Shrimp Boom in Venezuela's Post-Oil Economy
Lake Maracaibo is, in many ways, the unlikeliest of homes for a burgeoning shrimp farm industry. After a century of relentless oil drilling, much of it carried out in a reckless and haphazard manner in the final years, its surface is stained by petroleum slicks and choked with rusted-out rigs that stretch high into the sky.

Venezuela's ongoing media war - The Listening Post (Lead)
For much of the last month, the Venezuelan streets have been awash with demonstrators. The economy there shows signs of collapsing. Inflation is at a record high. Many are going hungry, lacking access to the basics - like clean water and medicine.
With almost 40 protesters killed in the past few weeks, a lot of the news coverage comes down to the laying of blame. The official government narrative goes that right wing media are trying to force a foreign intervention while demonstrators are accusing the president, Nicolas Maduro, of trying to subvert democracy, by suppressing the media.
Maduro's predecessor Hugo Chavez spent much of his presidency at war with conservative news outlets. He blamed some of them for backing an attempted coup against him in 2002, which they did, on air. Chave...

🇻🇪 Less paper, more Maduro: Venezuela's media crisis | The Listening Post (Full)
On The Listening Post this week, Nicolas Maduro starts his second term as President of Venezuela, a country with empty shelves and shuttered newsrooms. Plus, political eulogies in the US media.
Earlier this month, Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a second term as Venezuela's president. The election that got him there has been widely condemned as having been rigged, and opposition voices were mostly absent from the airwaves.
The case against Maduro's treatment of the media is compelling. His critics contend that since he first took office in 2013, 33 newspapers and almost 100 radio and TV stations have been censored or shut down, while 50 journalists have been prosecuted.
Venezuelans now suffer not only under chronic shortages of food and medicine, but also of paper - adding a further bar...

Venezuela: Protests, propaganda and self-censorship
With Venezuela's economy poised on the brink of collapse the government's few remaining allies in the news media are replaying the familiar blame game, pointing the finger at foreign enemies. But Nicolas Maduro's hold on the narrative is slipping as journalists turn to Telegram to get the story out.

Inside Story Americas - Ruling a post-Chavez Venezuela
Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
It is little more than a month after the death of Hugo Chavez, and Venezuela will soon name his successor. The clear favourite is the acting president, Nicolas Maduro, who has promised to continue Chavez's Bolivarian revolution.
The race has not been close, but it has been colourful with insults flying between both candidates.
The opposition leader, Henrique Capriles, has made various attempts to mock his rival - whether over Maduro's former career as a bus driver or for his claim that the spirit of Chavez had approached him in the form of a bird. Maduro, for his part, has hit back calling Capriles a "prince of the bourgeoisie".
What do the government and opposition election campaign...

Venezuela's alternative media movement | The Listening Post

In post-Chavez Venezuela, health care ails, food is scarce and crime is everywhere
Venezuela’s hospitals are crumbling and health care system is in shambles. Kidnappers prey on citizens whose families are rich enough to pay ransom and the capital, Caracas, is the world’s most murderous city. Food is scarce — and expensive. Falling oil prices have hit Caracas, a major exporter, especially hard. Special correspondent Nadja Drost and videographer Bruno Federico report from Caracas.

For much of the last month, the Venezuelan streets have been awash with demonstrators. The economy there shows signs of collapsing. Inflation is at a record high. Many are going hungry, lacking access to the basics - like clean water and medicine.
With almost 40 protesters killed in the past few weeks, a lot of the news coverage comes down to the laying of blame. The official government narrative goes that right wing media are trying to force a foreign intervention while demonstrators are accusing the president, Nicolas Maduro, of trying to subvert democracy, by suppressing the media.
Maduro's predecessor Hugo Chavez spent much of his presidency at war with conservative news outlets. He blamed some of them for backing an attempted coup against him in 2002, which they did, on air. Chavez made changes on the broadcast side - both regulatory and related to ownership - Maduro has continued that trend with print outlets. But even formerly friendly voices in the news media are starting to turn on the Maduro government.
More and more journalists say they cannot report freely for mainstream news outlets and have ended up working online using new platforms, like the messaging app Telegram, to get the story out. However, the emergence of something like 300 new, digital news sources over the past few years has done little to bridge the political gap. It turns out that Venezuelans are just as divided online as they are on the streets.

The economy is in ruins, the currency is all but worthless, shops are empty and people queue for subsidised food rations to survive. Hugo Chavez launched a socialist revolution in 1998, but under his successor, Nicolas Maduro, the oil-rich country has become a failing state. A week in the capital Caracas revealed a city on the edge of destruction. The first things you see are the queues. They start at about 3:00am across the city, with tens of thousands waiting in line to buy subsidised food. "They are fine in the government, they eat", one woman clutching a baby says in disgust.
As the reporters move on they pass people scavenging through garbage for food and billboards boasting how much more people are eating since the revolution. The only business that's booming in the barrios is crime. With close to 4,000 murders a year, Caracas is getting a reputation as the most dangerous city in Latin America. Open elections are a thing of the past. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says, "even though today over 80 per cent of the population is desperate for a profound change, they have realised that they no longer can have even uncompetitive elections".

'Obit-omit': Political eulogies in US media
Journalists occasionally serve up obituaries that are reverential. The US news media produced a few of them last year - first for the former senator and two-time presidential candidate John McCain and then for George H W Bush, the country's president from 1989 to 1993, who died in November.
Bush's obituary suffered from a syndrome critics call 'obit-omit', focusing on attributes and achievements, while controversial aspects of his record - among them alleged war crimes were omitted. In doing so, such tributes often reveal more about the news organisations producing them than they do about the deceased.
The Listening Post's Daniel Turi reports on the politics of eulogy and what can amount to the whitewashing of history, in real time.

Meanwhile, Guyana's defence forces are on alert, bolstered across the border.
Brazil has deployed troops on its border with Guyana and Venezuela. America is throwing its weight behind Guyana. It will hold air exercises.
Will Venezuela fight a war with Guyana over oil? What does Venezuelan President Maduro seek to gain from his Essequibo push?
Palki Sharma tells you more.

It is little more than a month after the death of Hugo Chavez, and Venezuela will soon name his successor. The clear favourite is the acting president, Nicolas Maduro, who has promised to continue Chavez's Bolivarian revolution.
The race has not been close, but it has been colourful with insults flying between both candidates.
The opposition leader, Henrique Capriles, has made various attempts to mock his rival - whether over Maduro's former career as a bus driver or for his claim that the spirit of Chavez had approached him in the form of a bird. Maduro, for his part, has hit back calling Capriles a "prince of the bourgeoisie".
What do the government and opposition election campaigns say about the future strategies planned for the country?

Venezuela’s hospitals are crumbling and health care system is in shambles. Kidnappers prey on citizens whose families are rich enough to pay ransom and the capital, Caracas, is the world’s most murderous city. Food is scarce — and expensive. Falling oil prices have hit Caracas, a major exporter, especially hard. Special correspondent Nadja Drost and videographer Bruno Federico report from Caracas.
