That has to do with a culture, the Venezuelan journalist is not an entrepreneur. Correa adds that this journalistic innovation initiative coordinated and edited by Celina Carquez, a journalist with extensive experience in traditional and multimedia media, has the challenge of reaching excluded sectors of society where access to information is difficult. This non-profit project is supported by seed capital from Espacio Publico, a non-profit, non-governmental civil association whose purpose is the promotion and defense of human rights, especially freedom of expression, the right to information and responsibility. social in social media. The team is made up of 5 in-house journalists, 1 photographer, 3 freelance journalists and 5 interns. Once the weekly meeting of guidelines has been held, they generate daily content focused mainly on communities in Caracas and special work in other cities in the country. Without being obsessed by the monthly visits recorded by the website, which on a monthly average are 100 thousand, they reveal that Facebook is the means of greatest dissemination, a platform that has greater penetration in sectors E and D. They also resort to other communication alternatives such as the mural and direct contact with community leaders to multiply the message to third parties. "Chronicle One wants to be great but one is not born great," says Carlos Correa.
