Julio E. Muñoz (14 December 1947, Coelemu, Chile[1] - ) is (since 1994) the Executive Director of the Inter American Press Association. He is a journalism graduate of the University of Concepcion (1972), and has a phd in Mass Communication from the University of Minnesota (1983).
Munoz was a correspondent for the Chilean El Mercurio[1] from 1972 to 1975;[1] During this period El Mercurio is said to have received funds from the CIA to undermine the Socialist government of Salvador Allende through continuous anti-Allende propaganda and for "setting the stage for the military coup of 11 September 1973"[2], a fact the newspaper has always denied in spite of declassified documents which detail US interventions.[3]
