Cuban Newspapers Online

Cuba has one of Latin America's most unique and internationally scrutinised newspaper industries, with a media landscape that reflects the island nation's singular political system — a socialist state where the official press is controlled by the Communist Party, yet where a growing community of independent journalists and diaspora outlets have emerged to provide alternative perspectives for Cuba's 11 million inhabitants and the millions more in the Cuban diaspora worldwide, especially in the United States.

Cuba's official press is led by Granma — the party newspaper named after the boat that brought Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries to Cuba in 1956. Juventud Rebelde and Trabajadores are the other main state nationals. For independent voices, 14ymedio — founded by Yoani Sanchez — and CiberCuba and Diario de Cuba serve readers seeking alternative perspectives. Prensa Latina is Cuba's major international news agency distributing across Latin America. The bilingual OnCuba News and Havana Times serve international English-speaking readers.
