Cuba in the news

Live headlines from Cuba's independent press — outlets that are not government-owned and are blocked inside Cuba. These are not regime media (that would be Granma or Cubadebate). This is external reporting, mostly in Spanish; we link to the source and don't edit it.

The sources

All are independent of the Cuban government and span the spectrum — from Miami-based opposition to critical-left voices with roots on the island. Judge each on its own merits.
