Noticias24 Knock-off Watch: Minuto59
Quico says: Has anyone else noticed the way the runaway success of Noticias24 has spawned this whole ecosystem of copy-cat sites on the Venezuelan internet? Minuto59 is just one of the bunch: people who saw that, “wait a minute, these N24 folk must be making a ton of money freeloading off of other people’s work…we want in on that game!” What could be more Venezuelan? By which I mean what could be sadder, lazier, and less creative?
Folks, Venezuela already has a Noticias24. We don’t need another one. Notice all those posts on your site with Zero Comments? There’s a message in that for you. Think about it.

We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
