Venezuelans demonstrate for free media
Thousands of people have demonstrated in Caracas as Radio Caracas TV (RCTV) - Venezuela’s oldest TV network and the only opposition broadcaster with national reach - went off air after President Hugo Chavez did not renew its licence.
Within seconds of screens going blank, the insignia of a new state-sponsored broadcaster, TVES, appeared. According to the president, this new channel will “better reflect the socialist revolution” he has pledged to lead.
