Some sites below put out news themselves. Some of these sites just provide links to the articles. Some also archive the articles. "Fair Use" laws are used to legally archive copyrighted press and media articles. The key factor for being able to archive copyrighted media and press articles is that the site must be a nonprofit site. That means not having any commercial advertising such as commercial banner ads, etc..

News. Venezuela. [TopLink]

Current news links follow the short historical introduction. Follow the money! Don't focus only on the leaders. Leaders come and go. Leaders are often corrupted or removed. It's frequently about the oil!

Venezuela's oil coup-strike-lockout for the rich! Late 2002 to early 2003 historical info:

*Venezuela oil coup-lockout. In 1974 80% of oil income went to the state. Today (early 2003) 80% of Venezuelan oil income goes to the rich, and to "operating costs." Only 20% goes to the state. Chavez reforms will help reverse this in 2003. This is why the coup-plotters are in such a hurry to overthrow the fairly-elected Chavez government, to prevent these reforms, and to reverse others already-implemented. Reforms that help the poor and lower middle class. "All of Venezuela's private television stations and national newspapers are owned by the opposition, and all are employed to deliver an unadulterated flow of anti-Chávez propaganda." They ignore and belittle rallies with hundreds of thousands of pro-Chavez supporters. Massive corporate-media disinformation, destabilization campaign. Fight media disinformation, Cisneros media empire worldwide, etc..

Or just send the URL of the page where you found this. You can also click "save" in the file menu of your browser. This will save it to your computer for use anytime you are online. It is easy to add or delete site choices in the search form below. Just look at the HTML code in any web page editor.

Google-Search Venezuela news sites. Choose site. Enter search terms such as "venezuela" etc.. Put quotes around phrases. Click the search button. After the search you can click the "News" tab for more results from thousands of news sites indexed daily by Google News. Google News search works differently from the standard Google search. Some sites (such as MotherJones.com, NarcoNews.com, Guardian.co.uk) are indexed daily by Google News. After standard Google searches you can click the "News" tab, and then you can delete site: from the left half of the relevant search term. Then search Google News again. If Google indexes that particular news site then this may pull up results from or about that site. You can also substitute inurl: for site: as a way to use Google News to pull up only articles with that term in the URL. For the very latest news and info you may have to go to the websites directly, and browse there, or use their site search engines there if they have one. At the bottom of this webpage you are reading now there may be other Google search boxes, and more info. The search term "venezuela" is unnecessary in the search box below if you search a site that focuses on Venezuela.

Fair Use versus Public Domain. [TopLink]

"Fair Use" laws do not apply to "Public Domain" articles. See the section farther down about fair use.

"Public Domain" means the expression is NOT copyrighted. It means that no rights are reserved, and that the materials can't be copyrighted in the future. So the materials can be posted anywhere in any form, whether revised or not. Once an expression is declared to be in the public domain, it loses all copyright protections, and anybody can use the expression in any way. So, fair use laws that limit how copyrighted materials can be republished do not apply to public domain materials.

"Fair use" notices from various locations. [TopLink]
