It has useful content.<br />But it is a fact a lot of people writing there do have serious problems with punctuation, wih Spanish syntax, with editing in general.<br /><br />I have certainly asked myself why it is written like that and I have discussed that with some family members who read Notitarde. Most of them live in poor areas of Carabobo. <br /><br />There are several reasons. There is the money they don't have in these times, there is the collapse of national education (never very high).<br /><br />I link a lot to their articles, both in my blog and in Wikipedia, but it's hard for me to say its Spanish is fine.<br /><br />If we try to define what the hoi poloi is: I think it's complicated. I'll try to find some hard facts about reading Notitarde versus anything else in municipalities such as Los Guayos, Puerto Cabello, Libertador.

To write a good blog one needs also good material, or at the very least semi reliable information. Where am i going to find it now?<br /><br />Also, yes, there is a love hate relationship with El Universal from my part. I learned to read newspapers by reading El Universal for which we had home delivery every morning. Then as I grew up I found it lacking in arts and commitment, too staid. But then again it became the first (and only) to have an English section, and more important, the lone beacon against Chavez since 1992. And this never becoming strident like other papers did. It is sad for me that when El Universal is proven right, that it is the time of its demise.

Lack of means to hire the proper journalists? Lack of time? etc, etc... I am not saying that such factors should be an excuse but the point is from a blog, from overseas it is SOOOO easy to criticize El Univeral et al.....<br /><br />And I note that you are not, by far, the worst offender of the blogosphere.<br /><br />This being said, Notitarde is not that bad. If its physical format is tabloid its content are not for the Hoi Poloi, but for the middle to lower middle. E and D social groups in Valencia do not buy Notitarde as much as you seem to believe.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-81840763680945057672014-07-07T17:00:05.837+02:002014-07-07T17:00:05.837+02:00"If we had an independent press..."
If ..."If we had an independent press..."<br /><br />If only there were such a thing as an independent & free main stream media. The US empire's press supporting the 4th republic has now become the Cuban empire's press supporting Chavismo. No surprise here, no gain & no loss.

So be it and the illegitimate government may buy out or expropriate all printed media. This just shows you you this government is out of step with current news vehicles. All over the planet, newspapers are trying to survive. Just surf the web and develop a personal filter. MINCI will always be a step behind. If you want to know what is going on in telecom development, just chat with some 15 year old. You will realize MINCI is in the doghouse. So, they bought El Universal with your own money? So what? Just make sure they get their just deserved retribution, because there will be a reckoning. The Internet is your exit, and you know it as the owner of one of Venezuela best blogs. So please, carry on with your superb work, and for El Universal? Down the drain! <br />Charlynoreply@blogger.com
