Crimenes Sin Castigo

The founder and director of crimeincastigo.com is the journalist specialized in criminology, Javier Ignacio Mayorca. The media, defined as one-person, covers news related to: citizen security, crime, organized crime, protection and impunity in Venezuela. The journalistic project began as "an assignment in a web 2.0 course" in the form of a blog, in 2010. Then, he decided to buy the domain and register the brand. "I made the publications on that blog, without any great pretensions or frequency. But when I decided to make this a venture, I looked for two media outlets to publish the column in advance of its publication on the blog. That way, we all won." In situations that warrant it, Mayorca provides on-site coverage. He gives as examples the death of alleged mercenaries from the so-called Operation Gedeón (in... 2020) and the drone attack against Nicolás Maduro in 2018. Another peculiarity of Crímenes Sin Punishment is that it is updated every two weeks. While its founder's personal Twitter disseminates content daily. When referring to the income to sustain the project, Mayorca recognizes that "the pandemic killed advertisers. Now, they are barely reviving." Fees for their work in other media help with maintenance.
