Venezuela is in media frenzy to date. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has recently pointed fingers at international media and their reporting of activities within the country. According to an article in The Telegraph. President Maduro blames various international media for “distorting the situation in the country and making it seem like it was on the verge of a civil war.” How valid is President Maduros accusations? One can view a slide on The New York Times website. Well according to an Article on the Columbia Journalism Review website, CNN reporters were banned from Venezuela until they reissued a more appropriate story regarding Venezuela protests. Ultimately, one can argue that international media isn't exposing Venezuela but simply enlightening other countries as to what is going on in that country.
