Correo del Orinoco (the Orinoco Post) was a newspaper founded by Simón Bolívar and published in Venezuela.[1] It was the first independent newspaper both in South America and in Latin America in general.
The newspaper was published weekly from 1818 to 1822 in Angostura (now Ciudad Bolívar), a city on the Orinoco River.[2]
The newspaper's name is now used by the Correo del Orinoco newspaper, produced by the Government of Venezuela.
