Since 2003, Freedom House has ranked Venezuela as "not free" when it comes to press freedom.[1] Freedom House explained that Venezuela's freedom of the press had declined during Hugo Chávez's 15 years in power, stating that the Venezuelan government's relation to the media caused a sharp decline in press freedom and expanded government information apparatus.[2]
Due to censorship in Venezuela, social networking and other methods are important ways of communication for the Venezuelan people,[3][4] with social media being established as an alternative means of information to mainstream media. Venezuela now has the 4th highest percentage of Twitter users.[5]
