Thank you for being an accurate and timely information window for Venezuela and the world. When we want to know what’s really going on in the world, there is teleSUR. Happy anniversary!”
Two Decades of Service
Since its inception in 2005, teleSUR has established itself as a reference point for counter-hegemonic journalism from the Global South, consistently narrating and documenting processes and realities often marginalized by mainstream international media.
Over more than two decades of continuous broadcasting, digital presence and social media engagement, the multiplatform has dedicated itself to disseminating information from a global perspective oriented toward a more just and equitable world. Its coverage has facilitated dialogue and strengthened bonds of solidarity among diverse communities across Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
teleSUR is a participating member of the Global South Joint Communication Association Network, a collaborative framework that brings together alternative and community media from developing nations. The multiplatform has also received the Memorial for Peace and Solidarity among the Peoples of the Americas in recognition of its commitment to communication for peace, human rights and the visibility of the Global South.
Throughout the 21st century, teleSUR has consolidated itself as a media outlet with a distinctive voice and an editorial line aligned with its founding principles, resisting pressures from both market-driven media logic and political interference.

Digital Evolution
As highlighted by the multiplatform during this anniversary, teleSUR’s founding commitment remains intact and has been strengthened with the launch of teleSUR+, a new platform that transcends the technological realm to become a collaborative editorial ecosystem.
teleSUR+ is the digital nucleus of a network that operates at the rhythm of live coverage. Journalists, correspondents and editors can work in an integrated manner, share editorial criteria and distribute content under the quality standards that distinguish the multimedia outlet. The tool offers allies an open, organized and participatory newsroom adapted to the demands of contemporary journalism.
This digital transformation reflects teleSUR’s adaptation to the rapidly evolving media landscape, where multiplatform strategies and collaborative production models have become essential for reaching global audiences. The new platform aims to strengthen teleSUR’s network of correspondents and allied media across the Global South, ensuring that voices from the periphery continue to challenge the narratives produced by the centers of global power.
At 21 years old, teleSUR stands not only as a survivor in a hostile media environment but as a growing reference for those seeking information that prioritizes the perspectives of Latin America, the Caribbean and the broader developing world in the ongoing struggle for communicative justice and media democratization.
