Hugo Chavez, former President of Venezuela, was posthumously awarded the Simon Bolivar National Award of Journalism 2013. The National Journalism Prize Foundation said that its jury voted unanimously to give Chavez the prize because he gave voice to “the oppressed of the world” and fought a “constant battle against media lies.” Chavez lost his battle to cancer on March 5. The jury of the Simon Bolivar National Journalism Award 2013 also assessed 79 pieces of work and recognized journalists from different media organizations. The foundation jury comprised journalists and academics, seen as government supporters.
