Venezuela: Investigative Journalism
On June 2, 2022, after many years, USAGM’s Media Development offered the first non-virtual training in Caracas for more than 45 journalists from USAGM affiliates. The training was organized by El Diario Director Eduardo Ponte and USAGM’s Regional Market Officer Iscar Blanco.
Participants received instructions and lessons from Lisseth Boon, an expert in journalistic investigations with renowned journalism awards for her investigations into corruption, organized crime, and human rights violations.
This training is part of a series organized by USAGM’s Media Development to be offered through 2022 and 2023, providing basic journalism techniques, including writing, best practices, digital and marketing reporting, and data analysis.
