I´m really proud of being forced to be a journalist within the hostil environment that is Caracas right now. It taught me a lot about human responses when people are afraid. It also taught me that “a good journalism” can be a really flexible term, and when it´s required to, journalism adapts itself and it´s up to the rol it has to play.
