El Nuevo Cojo Ilustrado is a free alternative webzine published monthly from Harlem, New York.

El Nuevo Cojo was founded by Gustavo Morales, a Venezuelan lawyer and New York resident, who frequently contributes history and opinion articles. The staff is made out of an international group of Hispanic writers and journalists from Europe, Latin America and the United States. Freelance writers are frequent contributors, given El Nuevo Cojo’s policy of promoting the art of writing for non-journalists. In its first year of existing, 80% of El Nuevo Cojo’s articles were written by freelancers, mostly readers. Today freelancers’ contributions make only about 10% of El Nuevo Cojo’s output.

El Nuevo Cojo first gained notoriety among Venezuelan readers by its strong criticism to the failed Coup d'etat that sought the deposing of President Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and later against the 2004 recall referendum, when the wide majority of Venezuelan media outlets opposed the president. Attacks against opposition journalists and politicians were frequent and opened to the door to articles about local racism, classism and values in the Venezuelan society. This position gained the webzine a “Chavista” reputation that it hasn’t been able to clean up. Far from being “Chavista” (El Nuevo Cojo Ilustrado has published articles criticizing Chavez’ politics in several occasions), its ideological stance about Venezuelan affairs was motivated by its liberal and anti-Bush anti-War in Iraq point of view. A coup détat, or simply a coup, is the sudden overthrow of a government, usually done by a small group that just replaces the top power figures. ...
