Nelson Bocaranda Sardi (born 18 April 1945), is a Venezuelan television commentator, investigative journalist and founder of Runrunes.
Career
Bocaranda began studying journalism in 1962 at the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas and started working for television station Venevisión under Óscar Yanes, who was his journalism professor. Also during his university tenure, Bocaranda worked for various radio stations in Caracas, including Radio Aeropuerto, Radio Capital, Radio Continente and KYS-FM. He left Venevisión to work for RCTV in the early 1980s, later returning to Venevisión in 1988. In 1989, Bocaranda worked as a foreign correspondent for Venezolana de Televisión in New York. He would also write columns in various Venezuelan newspapers.
On Unión Radio, Bocaranda had a weekday show, "Los Runrunes de Nelson", which began in 1998. Bocaranda's program primarily included the journalist reporting political rumors. In June 2009, BBVA Provincial said Bocaranda was "irresponsible" for spreading "false rumors" that the Venezuelan subsidiary of BBVA would be placed for sale. "Los Runrunes de Nelson" was cancelled later in 2009 after the Venezuelan government threatened to revoke Unión Radio's license if Bocaranda's criticism continued. The following year, Bocaranda and his son would create the Runrunes website. Bocaranda would go on to gain much of his following covering information on the illness of Hugo Chávez at a time when information about his health was scarce.
Reception
According to Bocaranda's former employer Venevisión in 2001, he received multiple awards including Venezuela's Premio Nacional de Periodismo (National Journalism Prize) and the Monseñor Pellín Award. Francisco Toro, founder of Caracas Chronicles, would criticize Bocaranda's work in 2009 saying that his career was based on rumors and described the journalist as " guy who took a perverse pride in publishing rumor, speculation and innuendo as fact". Venezuelan journalist Diego Marcano of Prodavinci would describe Bocaranda in 2017 as "one of Venezuela’s most respected journalists".
Personal life
He has been described as supporting the opposition of the Venezuelan government.
