Hugo Prieto is a Venezuelan journalist with a notable career spanning various prominent media outlets, including El Universal, El Nacional, and collaborations with The New York Times. He has been vocal about the ethical dilemmas faced by journalists in politically charged environments, particularly emphasizing the dangers posed by journalists who align themselves too closely with political parties or who operate as mercenaries for financial gain. Prieto argues that such practices lead to a distortion of information and undermine the integrity of journalism, especially in the context of election-related disinformation campaigns.
