Williams Brito's Company Details
In a scenario in which the limitations on citizen freedoms are increased, expressed in access to information and freedom of expression, El Pitazo emerges, a multiplatform medium that fights against censorship, that says what others are silent, with presence in 20 states and 27 cities of Venezuela.El Pitazo, founded in July 2014, is aimed at sectors D and E of the population, social strata in which, in today's Venezuela, access to plural and balanced information is reduced, due to the penetration of official media or of official tendency.Through a text messaging service, presentation of audiovisual stories in communities in the country and a radio program, El Pitazo tries to change this imbalance. Only thanks to SMS, 2,500,000 users receive weekly written or audiovisual reports.The guiding principle of this multiplatform medium is to fight against the growing censorship and self-censorship in traditional Venezuelan media, a fact promoted by a scheme that limits citizen freedoms. That is why El Pitazo says what others are silent, either because they do not want to tell it for fear of reprisals or as a consequence of not having access to the sources of information generation in different parts of the country.
