List of newspapers in Cuba


This is a list of newspapers in Cuba. Although the Cuban media is controlled by the Cuban People through the Cuban State apparatus, the national newspapers of Cuba are not directly published by the state, they are instead published by various Cuban political organizations with official approval. There are several new anti-Communist, counter-revolutionary online newspapers, based mostly outside Cuba. Independent digital media in Cuba is mostly financed by the US Government through the National Endowment for Democracy or other organizations, or in some cases through other governments.

National newspapers

Each of Cuba's 16 provinces has a regional weekly, which acts as the official newspaper published by each provincial Communist Party branch. The two most recently launched, El Artemiseño and Mayabeque, began publication in 2011, to serve the newly formed provinces of Artemisa and Mayabeque.
Each weekly has its own website with local news, updated daily, which offers weekly print editions for free download in the PDF format. Some also publish online editions in English.
