 * Media sources use of coup vs. uprising:


 * Opinion pieces that state an editorial position or discussing the naming controversy:
 * Washington Post, Editorial Board Don’t call it a coup. Venezuelans have a right to replace an oppressive, toxic regime. Therefore, whatever its ultimate outcome or, indeed, its strategic wisdom, Tuesday's uprising is not a "coup attempt," as the Maduro regime, echoed by too many people abroad, calls it. Rather, it is the latest in a series of legitimate and, for the most part, nonviolent efforts by Venezuelans, both civilian and military, to throw off an oppressive, toxic regime so that they can freely elect a legitimate government. Supporters of freedom and democracy should stand in solidarity with Mr. Guaidó and the many thousands of Venezuelans now bravely asserting their rights.

 * DW Venezuela: Coup or uprising? It depends on who you support
