New Multiplatform Programming/Venezuela

As the similarities of Cuba and Venezuela continue to grow, OCB launched a new multi-platform one-hour program, “En Debate”, featuring Martí journalists Alejandro Marcano and Karen Caballero. A one-hour program that presents our audience with contrasting points of view relevant to Cuba and

Venezuela. Coverage in Venezuela was our main information challenge during July-August. Not only did we follow up on the mass protests on the streets against Nicolás Maduro’s regime, but we also addressed the two voting processes, convened respectively by the opposition, on July 16, and by “oficialismo” (new Constituent Assembly) July 30th.
