Runrunes is a news, opinion and analysis website dedicated to Venezuelan topics. The website was founded by Venezuelan investigative journalist Nelson Bocaranda.
History[edit]
Bocaranda has worked for several Venezuelan media organizations since his introduction into journalism. He originally had a radio show with Union Radio titled Los Runrunes de Nelson and a column with El Universal known as Runrunes. In 2010, Bocaranda found the website Runrunes, carrying on the similar name of his other works.
Demographics[edit]
Runrunes' main visitors are from Venezuelan, the United States and Spain.[1]
Controversy[edit]
Runrunes has had multiple controversies with the Venezuelan government. Diosdado Cabello, a high-ranking Venezuelan official, intimidated a journalist of the website on his television program, criticizing their work.[2] In January 2016, Bocaranda was detained for nearly 2 hours at Maiquetia International Airport while authorities checked his phone.[3] On 6 May 2016, Bocaranda's Twitter account was hacked with the hacker attempting to discredit the journalist.[4]
