Lately our mailboxes are receiving messages of support, concern and suggestions sent by readers and followers of OnCuba<\/strong> from all over the world, mainly from the United States.<\/p>\n

They are concerned about the predictable storm of criticisms coming from a group that is against this innovative and exceptional project.<\/p>\n

We thank all of them. Both concerns show we are advancing along the right path, and that we are taking up a relevant space we mustn\u2019t or expect to obviate.<\/p>\n

It is a necessary, healthy and even inspiring debate; it is the driving force that nourishes us. There is no greater motivation than a good dose of criticisms \u2013 much better if their intention were to build instead of destroying.<\/p>\n

With barely four years of existence, OnCuba<\/strong>, in its digital version, is one of the most read media about Cuba in the world. The printed edition, meanwhile, has an unprecedented distribution: it is satisfying to see our magazines in the United States\u2019 most important shops and airports. This magazine, together with Art OnCuba<\/strong>, OnCuba Real Estate<\/strong> and OnCuba Travel<\/strong> make up the only media platform that discovers a country based on its widest, most beautiful and controversial aspects.<\/p>\n

There are still many goals to achieve. The imprints carry weight; the paths, work and effort. Meanwhile, our sales, subscriptions and readers are multiplying. We are growing.<\/p>\n

To our followers from one or another position: perhaps OnCuba<\/strong> is not what some of you want it to be; it can even not be what they say it is. We understand that we will not always be able to satisfy everyone.<\/p>\n

OnCuba<\/strong> is what we have built, those of us who believe it is possible to make a better journalism, sincere, truthful and from multiple voices; all this without external influences, overcoming old axioms, rejecting smokescreens and withstanding manipulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
