Brief
Venezuela’s CNP warned that barriers and restrictions affecting media outlets remain in place. The organization said highly punitive laws continue to limit freedom of expression and the practice of journalism. The alert points to an unchanged operating environment for news organizations and reporters, with legal constraints still shaping what can be published and how journalism is conducted in the country.
Continued restrictions on journalism reduce the availability and reliability of local information used for investment due diligence. The persistence of punitive laws also signals that Venezuela’s institutional environment remains restrictive, complicating independent scrutiny of government actions, companies and operating conditions.
