Global Journalist: Venezuela's embattled news media

Venezuela's news media has been squeezed by President Nicolás Maduro's authoritarianism and the country's ongoing economic crisis. But Venezuela is not Cuba or North Korea. There are still a number of independent and critical journalists trying to cover news - though their job is far from easy.
