The other journalism

Abstract

 The history of journalism in Cuba is extensive and deserves rigorous studies in which it will be necessary to outline the means used, the tendencies of editorial lines, and the difficulties that the profession has encountered in times of lack of freedom of the press. The beginnings of Cuban independent journalism in this stage of the national history known as "the Revolution" go back to those hand-printed bulletins that circulated clandestinely in the Island's prisons in the 1960s and, to be fair, since the mythical year 1959. From then to date, there has been an evolution in which the intention of maintaining the denunciation combined with pretensions of objectivity in which investigative journalism occupies the highest step.
