Introducing Caracas Chronicles en Español
Almost from the moment this blog launched – all the way back in the pre-YouTube internet Paleozoic of 2002 – people have been asking me when I’ll launch a sister site in Spanish. Today, that old dream is a reality.
Caracas Chronicles en Español – now live at CaracasChronicles-eE.com – will open up the debate to a whole new audience hungry for serious-but-not-stuffy commentary on Venezuelan affairs.
When you think about it, it really is quite remarkable how few quality blogs – not news aggregators, not compilations of a given commentator’s newspaper columns, but real current affair blogs – there are in Venezuelan cyberspace. Basically, it’s Alejandro Tarre, Sin El Chivo y Sin El Mecate, El Discurso del Oeste and…ummmm…that’s kind of it, no?
So, against all the odds, I really think CaracasChronicles-eE.com fills a kind of critical void in the Venezuelan web. Hope you enjoy it!
…and yes, if you’re up to doing some volunteer translations – please get in touch!
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.
