Please note this event will be conducted in Spanish; simultaneous translation will be provided.

The Venezuelan government's recent censure of the Colombian-based news channel NTN24 has once again shown the spotlight on the precarious state of press freedoms in Venezuela.  With the government cracking down on independent news outlets and newspapers warning of impending paper shortages that will leave them unable to publish, signs suggest the situation is worsening.  Join the Americas Program as it welcomes two prominent figures for this timely and informative discussion.

Open to the public; however, seating is limited.  To RSVP, send name and affiliation to the Americas Program at americas@csis.org.
