Today, Article 57 of Venezuela’s [[Probable year:: 1999]]  Constitution protects press freedom: “Everyone has the right to express freely his or her thoughts, ideas or opinions orally, in writing or by any other form of expression, and to use for such purpose any means of communication and diffusion, and no censorship shall be established. Anyone making use of this right assumes full responsibility for everything expressed" (Constitute Project, Venezuela's Constitution of [[Probable year:: 1999]]  with Amendments through [[Probable year:: 2009]]) .
