Venezuela Group

Last week Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez decided to kick American ambassador Patrick Duddy out of Venezuela, and recalled his own ambassador back from America as well. Chavez claims the U.S is responsible for backing reform movements within his country and Bolivia. Chavez also said that he will cut off Venezuelan crude oil supplies to the United States if America decides to fight Venezuela. This story is relevant because Venezuela happens to be America's fourth largest oil supplier in the world.

Chavez at it again

This is a good start to the Media Monitoring exercise by Venezuela Group. It contains the link to the original article, an original description, name of the person posting it, and it is properly labeled with 'Venezuela'(country), 'oil' (the issue), and even 'Hugo Chavez'(the people involved). It will be even better if the title of the post is directly related to the issue you are dealing with and in time hopefully the original assessment will be more substantial and has a connection to the media as well.
