If it is as George Orwell says about journalism: \u201cprinting what someone else doesn\u2019t want published, everything else is public relations,\u201d OnCuba<\/strong> is on the right path, in that search for the truth where there\u2019s always someone who\u2019s happy or upset.<\/p>\n

Founded by Hugo Cancio, a Cuban American residing in Miami, OnCuba<\/strong> is celebrating in March the first five years of its principal edition. What began as a magazine for charter flights between Cuba and the United States, and a webpage with some followers, today is a U.S. communication platform, with a permanent news office in Havana, hundreds of thousands of readers and an unprecedented distribution in the United States.<\/p>\n

OnCuba<\/strong> anticipated the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Havana and Washington and since its beginnings its goal was to build bridges between the two countries. It has become a referent, essential for those wanting to know about Cuba as well as for Cubans wherever they live.<\/p>\n

OnCuba from within<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I believe that none of us who founded OnCuba<\/strong> imagined the reach it would have in such a short time. Our objectives were always to write about Cuba with an unbiased view, avoiding the extremes so common in news about the island; placing human beings at the center. Writing about Cuba based on its big and small stories, its happy moments and its anxieties, which are all part of life, and trying to find a dialogue based on that, always seeking a bridge, a point to meet, analyze, communicate; dealing with Cuban reality in an honest way from the point of view of writers, journalists and specialists who are referents in their fields of investigation; and wishing that all those who feel they are Cuban, no matter where they live, be a part of our palette. Now, five years since the first edition, we produce and distribute contents in several formats: printed, digital and audiovisual. We offer news, data, opinions, we report stories, we interpret the facts, and we reflect on very diverse issues. We propose a transnational vision of Cuban reality, we are a means of interlocution and of reference, increasingly more recognized by influential actors in as well as outside Cuba.<\/p>\n

We comprise a group of dissimilar voices of writers, journalists, academicians, of a wide range of ages and with different ways of analyzing and interpreting events. I believe our principal strength lies in the wide range of collaborators OnCuba<\/strong> has in all parts of the island and out of it. They are our eyes, voices, OnCuba<\/strong>\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n
