LXC5/6

After watching the documentary “La Revolucion No Sera Transmitida” I became very interested on the citizen journalism that was presented by the supporters of President Chavez. The documentary shows the events leading up to the removal of President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez in April 2002. What caught my attention most was the way that media was involved throughout this time. The privately owned media was basically the only media available for citizens of Venezuela and all that was available were things that went against Chavez. After violence began to work out those privately owned media stations blamed those things directly on Chavez and his supporters, by only showing the supporters initiating violence. It is interesting to view the way that these Chavez followers so passionately demanded his return. They protested in front of the Presidential palace, cut off electricity, and also threatened the Carmona administration (who was assigned after Chavez) to stop any water or food from going in to the palace. After much protest from the citizens of Venezuela, who supported Chavez, he was able to come back into finish his presidency.



In Colombia, the access to the Internet has increased dramatically, and according to Comisión de Regulación de Comunicaciones (CRC) in Colombia 99.3% of the country now has access to La Red. In 2010 Internet through the computer and also mobile has increased to one million. According to María del Rosario Guerra as the number of subscribers to the Internet increases, the CRC becomes closer to their goal of three million subscribers. It is believed that the reasons why Colombians are beginning to access the Internet is because of offers through commercials in the Internet, and also government’s own access to the Internet.
