Free Venezuela

Today Andrés Correa interviews Ecuadorian reporter Jeannette Hinostroza. She recently received the International Press Freedom Award, given by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). She has more than 21 years of professional experience in Colombia and Ecuador. Her popular interview show "La Mañana de 24 horas" went off the air after a wave of threats. For the past decade she has hosted another news program, "30 Plus". She has been directly attacked by Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa who, according to her, is following the recipe of the Venezuelan government to silence the criticism. She talks about the links between the Venezuelan and the Ecuadorian governments, how they silence a free press by closing media and promoting self censorship.
