Sources & permissions

Authorized sources

The following organizations have given Roger J. Quiroz R. permission to disseminate their news. We republish their stories in full:

• Voluntad Popular — Venezuelan democratic opposition party.
• VenAmérica — Venezuelan-American civic organization.

• The English edition is a faithful translation of the original Spanish text, without adding or removing content.
• The Spanish edition shows the original text.
• We use the same image as the original publication, stored on our site (never hotlinked), with the caption “Photo: <outlet>”.
• Each of these stories ends with the note: “Republished with permission of <outlet>. Translated from Spanish by Venezuela Record.”

Other outlets

We also point to stories from other serious outlets — news agencies, independent Venezuelan press and human rights organizations such as Foro Penal — when they fall within our scope. For these we publish only:

• the headline;
• a summary written by us, of no more than 60 words;
• a link: “Read the full story at <outlet>”.

We never copy their full text and we do not copy their photos. Instead we show a card with the outlet's name. The only exception is images under a free license (CC BY, CC BY-SA or public domain), shown with their credit and license.

How we credit

Every story shows, at the top of the page and on its listing card:

• the original outlet and the original publication date;
• the original author (or “Staff, <outlet>” when no author is named);
• who republished it on Venezuela Record and when (“Republished by”), which is never a claim of authorship;
• a link to the original story.

Image policy

• Images from authorized sources are their original images, credited to the outlet.
• We do not use photos from news agencies (AP, Reuters, AFP, EFE, Getty) or from other outlets without a free license.
• Every image has a credit and a text description (alt text).

Scope

We cover Venezuelan politics; repression and political prisoners; human rights; elections and power; international decisions that affect Venezuela politically; and the country's situation (economy, services, humanitarian crisis) in its political dimension. We do not cover entertainment, sports, migration news or opinion without a news event.

How we collect stories

Stories are selected and entered by hand. We respect each site's robots.txt and do not scrape websites automatically.
