Efecto Cocuyo - founded by independent female journalists who have all been threatened by the Bolivarian government, its director has won a press freedom award and was one of the "Guardians" profiled as TIME Person of the Year 2018. Furthermore, no area of the country or news story seems too small, meaning they likely have coverage of just about anything, with multiple updates daily and an easy-to-navigate site.
La Patilla - one of the most popular websites in Venezuela, operated by the former CEO of Globovisión, but regularly censored so may be inaccessible.
Prodavinci - this is the "one-stop shop" for analytical journalism by politicians, historians, and various other professionals; it also has quite a strict attitude against opinion pieces.
El Pitazo - its director is widely seen as the best journalist in the country, it does cover daily news but is more notable for its award-winning long form multimedia reports on the state of the nation; this is particularly good for statistics and analysis.
Armando.Info - investigative journalism in Venezuela cannot be beat by independent site armando.info - they're the Bellingcat of the country.
El Nacional - comprehensive in all areas, respected internationally.
El Universal - very similar to El Nacional.
VPItv - a sidekick to the large rebel alliance, with the downside that as a largely video-based service (operating mostly on YouTube when it becomes inevitably blocked) it may not always be seen as reputable.
Caracas Chronicles - technically a blog, but run by respected journalists and often has interviews with people in the news, and it's all in English.
Cinco8 - CC's Spanish-language sister.
Tal Cual
El Nuevo Herald and Miami Herald - Miami based newspapers that have good coverage of the diaspora in the area.
Runrunes
El Estímulo
VIVOplay
Voice of America & Voz de América - note that there are two fields of coverage in Venezuela, one that is independently run, and the other which has its main presenter/host who also explores Madurismo perspectives. However, he's a good journalist and handles it neutrally, so this only needs to be given a question of bias (rather than avoiding).
Aporrea - Bolivarian government supportive but, in news (avoid the opinion pieces), it does not have the insert of opinion that other Maduro-supporting sources do, so is more reliable than those for plain information on Maduro-government-aligned people. Has had more editorial independence recently, so it shouldn't be completely ruled out of unbiased consideration.

The numbers are not an indication of ranking, but to allow for identification; however, Aporrea placed at the bottom may be considered the least reliable. Most sources, on this list, will be of a standard "reliable" rating where they are equal - those closer to the top may be easier to access for those outside of Venezuela. This list only includes sources with a Wikipedia page, allowing users to visit the page and further inform themselves on how reliable they believe it may be.
