Talk:Venezuelan Ministry of Communications and Information

Conflicting info in other Wikipedia articles
The list of ministers has been taken by puzzling together info from the Spanish Wikipedia articles about the ministers in question. However, the English Wikipedia article about Jesse Chacón is in conflict with that info, since it says that he was the first to hold that office in 2008, and that he was succeeded by Blanca Eckhout. The info in Spanish was used while awaiting fact-checking. Lindorm (talk) 03:51, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Hegemony
Izarra has indicated that his goal is to achieve more government hegemony over medias in Venezuela. This appears to rest on a quote from a 2008 interview, in which the interviewer describes Izarra as defending a Gramscian hegemony of freedom and plurality ("defiende la necesidad de crear una hegemonía comunicacional, pero desde el concepto gramsciano (hegemonía de la libertad y la pluralidad)."). Skimming the interview (it's 3am) I see no further explanation of what Izarra means by that, but in referring to Gramsci's Cultural hegemony it certainly doesn't warrant presenting in the article as it was.
