All sources indicate that it was between 1830-1848 when there was the launch of the press in Venezuela. It is also at this stage when they start those which are highly culturally and Courier Caracas (1839-1841) and others who brought generally good samples of fine arts and literature. Then we went to the stage (1847-1858), when initiating humor journalism Devil Asmodeus Asmodeus and that it is a humorous and satirical journalism against the government.

This is a periodical devoted to English-speaking readers, where you can find news about politics, economy, science and technology, opinion, society, events, sports, developing a short information about the most important events in Venezuela, but expanding a little more on the international side, as most of the readers who buy the newspaper are people with an interest to learn about the world in general, because the “reader” who wants to learn deeply about national events, goes looking for some another national newspaper where they extend over the news of the country.
