Correo del Orinoco (the Orinoco Post) is a Venezuelan newspaper launched in 2009 with government backing.[1] It is named for Simón Bolívar's nineteenth-century Correo del Orinoco, although it is published in Caracas unlike the original which was published on the Orinoco river.

The newspaper describes itself as progressive,[2] with affiliations to the Ministry of Popular Power for Communication and Information and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.[2]

In 2010 the Correo del Orinoco launched a weekly English-language edition, Correo del Orinoco International, with Eva Golinger as its editor.[3]

On 12 January 2016, Desirée Santos Amaral, a former Minister of Communication and Information, became the new editor of Correo del Orinoco.[4] The previous editor was Vanessa Davies, a journalist and a political activist for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.[2]
