Abstract
This thesis estimates the number of pro-government or pro-chavista media intimidated and/or censored by the government of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela between the years 1999 and 2008. It also addresses the complex issue of the state of press freedom and free speech in Venezuela as variable through which human rights and democracy in the South American country should be evaluated.
