“We've never had to juggle reporting as much as we've been doing for more than three months, after President Donald Trump's administration canceled the U.S. support funds that were key to sustaining Divergentes. That's an independent media outlet from Nicaragua, based in exile due to the systematic repression under the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
Look, it's not that we're not used to juggling. When you investigate, report, and manage a critical media outlet under a totalitarian and crushing regime, we journalists become a kind of juggler. Juggling emotional, economic, logistical, security, and self-censorship issues. In other words, we don't stop publishing for a single day while we manage these fronts, which are even more difficult when you're in exile.
Starting in 2018, the Ortega-Murillo regime (now “co-presidential”) put Nicaraguan journalism on its list of priority enemies."
