Venezuela presents its communication experiences at International Colloquium Patria

HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 20 (ACN) The lessons learned in the implementation of the socialist project in Venezuela were shared today, in Havana, by the Venezuelan delegation participating at the 3rd International Colloquium Patria, which concludes Friday.

Freddy Ñañez, Venezuela's Minister of Communication and Information, spoke at the event organized by the Cuban Journalists Association (UPEC by its Spanish acronym) on the challenges of conceiving political communication in the era of social networks.

The specialist pointed out the main danger in the constant flood of information that has violated the truth in the face of the constant waves of skepticism and in which, paradoxically, the excess of informative stimuli culminate in the impossibility of individuals to inform themselves and build objective representations of reality.

Ñañez pointed out that these dynamics are precisely the ones that his country and the Cuba are going through with the same media warfare scenario, with a special strength of the neoliberal thinking to appropriate these concepts in view of the absence of the left in the debates on these issues.

In this way, he detailed that the representatives of this tendency establish their state of control and manipulation of the public opinion through the liberalization of information and the de facto loss of credibility.

Along these lines, the special intervention of Patricia Villegas, director of Telesur, who exchanged with the audience about the peculiarities of the news channel and the management of this media open to take its contents to new platforms and formats, also stood out.

Another highlight was the presentation by Graciela Ramirez on the special issues of Resumen Latinoamericano magazine dedicated to the resistance of the Palestinian people to the genocide perpetrated by the Zionist State of Israel.
