Unhappy 11th
Yup, Caracas Chronicles is 11 years old today.
Can’t say I’m in much of a mood for celebrating, though. The country is honestly more screwed up now than my imagination could conceive back in September 2002. The government has proven more coherent and less fractious, even in Chávez’s absence, than I ever thought possible. And the drowning of our democratic heritage in the bathtub has been carried out so expertly, the neighbours barely heard a sound.
Caracas Chronicles is 100% reader-supported.
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.
