Venezuela: RCTV News Switches to You Tube

Booted off the air by Venezuela's government, RCTV has turned to YouTube to broadcast news.
After the Venezuelan government closed RCTV last Sunday, the station turned to You Tube to continue broadcasting news.

As of this writing, the YouTube page for El Observador (the name of RCTV's news program) had more than 8,000 subscribers and 250,000 views -- which made it YouTube's most-subscribed video of the week.

This new way for RCTV to get in touch with its audience has been widely publicized by traditional media and bloggers, as you can see in Google News, Technorati and Blogalaxia (Technorati's Latino equivalent).
