VENEZUELA: All the news that’s fit to print – but no paper
Venezuelan newspapers - opposition and official - have united in their demands for newsprint. The country’s leading opposition daily, El Nacional, now says it only has sufficient reams to last to the end of this month. Diario Vea, a government-supporting newspaper, warned readers on Monday this week that it faced a print suspension because of the lack of newsprint. Two days later it recanted, saying it was using leftovers from old (i.e. used) bobbins to keep up its print run, hardly a position any editor wants to be in.
