Notifalcon

Seven journalists make coverage possible in three cities: Coro, the capital of Falcón, Punto Fijo, the main city of this state, and nearby Maracaibo, capital of the Zulia state. The story of Notifalcón arose from the misinformation that existed in Falcón in the middle of a trough that cut off several municipalities. This situation worried Carlos García and he opened the @Notifalcon account. "You went on Twitter and saw some information from some people. We created Twitter and published progress with photos," details his sister Mariangel García. By then she was a journalist and her brother a lawyer. After this experience Carlos was encouraged to study Social Communication. They work through emails. Community news, events and regional news are received by one of the two editors on duty who, after reviewing, program to publish at one of the 3 times formally established to update the portal: 6 am, 10 am and 1 pm. The hard work is done from Monday to Friday and the weekends are dedicated to covering national and regional events. Like many Venezuelan journalists, those who work for Notifalcón also work for radio or television stations. The financing that makes the existence of the portal possible comes from local businessmen, regional and municipal governments. "As we have been balanced, we have achieved advertising from both sides," explains Mariangel. The story of Notifalcón arose as a result of a valley that in 2011 cut off several municipalities. From the Twitter account they went to the web.
