Today in Orwellianismo Endógeno
Communicational Hegemony: It’s not just a river in Egypt…
President Maduro has announced that the government will henceforth produce a “Newscast of Truth” to be carried, en cadena, twice daily.
Just to spell this out for any newbies out there: that means every TV channel and every radio station in Venezuela will be forced to pre-empt its programming, just stop what they’re doing, and carry the same government propaganda broadcast, live, unedited, at the same time. Twice a day.
Good thing that’s not creepy and Orwellian, huh?

We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
