‘Many journalists have left’: How post-election repression compounded press freedom fears in Venezuela - ICIJ

Joseph Poliszuk and his colleagues celebrated the 10th anniversary of Armando . Info , a Venezuelan investigative news outlet he co-founded.

Armando.

Info has operated a hybrid newsroom since early 2018 , when a handful of its journalists had to flee the country after they were sued by a business executive they exposed as having ties to Maduro ’s political party.

At least 10 journalists have been arrested since the recent electoral campaigns began.
