La Nueva Televisora del Sur (teleSUR, The New Television of the South) is a pan-Latin American television network established by several Latin American countries in 2005. The establishment of the channel was initiated by Hugo Chavez. It is sponsored by the governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Richard Stallman was on the advisory board that oversaw the launch of the channel, but he resigned in 2011 over the channel's coverage of the protests/revolution in Libya, calling it a "boring propaganda engine".[1]According to him, he had suggested that the channel should follow "the model of Al Jazeera", but his suggestion "was not heeded".[1]

There are multiple incidents where TeleSUR reporters are harassed and beaten by oppressive regimes throughout the world.[2][3]
