This was announced by the president of Telesur, Patricia Villegas, who expressed that there are surveys on the media in Latin America that indicate that the media that assume more antagonistic positions, for example, El Clarín from Argentina or Semana in Colombia They are losing credibility.
In the Yellow House, in the tower of the Ministry of People’s Power for Foreign Relations, located in Caracas, the first meeting “New Times of ALBA Digital Communication” was held this Tuesday, with the participation of 13 countries.
Villegas continued explaining that “these media position their very high capacity for generating opinion, because they work together on the same basis, which no longer corresponds to the media, but to the spokespersons who have credibility and are responsible for reproducing the message that contributes to the Polarization”.
