Several independent Cuba-based digital media outlets offer alternative voices to censored state-run television, radio, and newspapers. Many of these new media ventures take the form of news outlets or webzines. These outlets may be used as platforms to critique the Socialist government, or to discuss issues or offer entertainment that the state-run media may ignore or consider taboo, such as sports and fashion.

  • Several independent Cuba-based digital media outlets offer alternative voices to censored state-run television, radio, and newspapers. Many of these new media ventures take the form of news outlets or webzines. These outlets may be used as platforms to critique the Socialist government, or to discuss issues or offer entertainment that the state-run media may ignore or consider taboo, such as sports and fashion. The Cuban mass media are officially owned and controlled by the state, and the independent press is considered illegal and its publications are classified as "enemy propaganda." Most online news outlets operate in a legal limbo in which they are neither officially recognized by the state nor prohibited, making it impossible to open corporate bank accounts or put together legal contracts in the names of these outlets. However, enough evidence of how the USA government funding those media using the National Endowment for Democracy, NED, or other similar organizations, is present, even in the official documents of the USA government. Sometimes, the donor is other government ally of the USA government. Very interesting is the role of Open Society Foundation, of George Soros, in the schema. In order to reach citizens within the country and avoid government blocking, outlets send their content directly to subscribers via email subscription, or have the digital content delivered physically via USB drives and hard drives. This situation, however, changed since 2018, with the develop of internet services by mobile data in Cuba, and in 2021 most of the websites are available for all the people in Cuba. (en)
