In 2019 it won the Ortega y Gasset Award for Best Multimedia Coverage, for a report on starving children, "La generación del hambre"" (English: The generation of hunger).

[5] The Press and Society Institute, Venezuela (IPYS) reported that this block was intermittent throughout the day and targeted different states at different times, making it a more complex "attack" on the website that was more difficult to circumvent and also harder to justify creating a new web address, even though the effect on readership was the same.

IPYS mentioned that they had developed some offline methods of communication in response, like holding informal public meetings in parks across the country and in bookshops to spread news.

[7] In an interview with Caracas Chronicles, Batiz said that he could guess the blocks were because he published reports that made the government "uncomfortable", like one in late July 2018 exposing corruption in PdVSA.

[10][11] Throughout 2018 for eight months,[2] fourteen journalists[12] led by Johanna Osorio Herrera[3] followed the lives of eight children all born in 2013, chosen because nutrition in the first 5 years of life is the most important.

The report won the 2019 Ortega y Gasset Award for Best Multimedia Coverage,[2] to be presented at the CaixaForum Madrid[12] on 9 May 2019;[13] for winning, they receive 15,000 euro and a sculpture by Eduardo Chillida.

[12] The aims of the investigation were to expose the effects of the economic policy of the Nicolás Maduro administration on young children growing up under it, particularly on hunger and starvation as these are "the most intimate in human lives".
