Eva Golinger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eva Golinger is a Venezuelan-American attorney and editor of the Correo del Orinoco International, a web- and print-based newspaper which is financed by the Venezuelan government. In a 2011 profile in The New York Times she was described as "one of the most prominent fixtures of Venezuelas expanding state propaganda complex", and her newspaper as "Venezuela's equivalent of the Cuban newspaper Granma". "I'm a soldier for this revolution," she told The New York Times.
Golinger is the author of several books on Venezuela's relationship with the United States. She is an outspoken supporter of the former socialist president of Venezuela, the late Hugo Chávez. As of May 2011 she serves as a foreign policy advisor to the Venezuelan government. Chávez has called her La novia de Venezuela ("The Girlfriend of Venezuela"
Golinger is a weekly host for a television show on RT Network, a television channel financed by the government of Russia and a member of the International Organization for a Participatory Society.
