- Title
Mixing the old with the new through digital media: How young Cuban journalists navigate a changing Cuba.
- Authors
Roberts, Shearon
- Abstract
This mixed method study examined how young Cuban journalists use both traditional and digital media to engage discourse on a changing Cuba. Firstly, this study examined interviews with 35 Cuban journalists at nine media organizations in Cuba. The findings indicated they do report on critical issues in their traditional media jobs in ways that are tolerated under the limitations to freedom of the press. Secondly, this study examined 194 articles published by these journalists on independent digital platforms. Online spaces provided young Cuban journalists the opportunity to publish critical-constructive discourse on a range of topics. The study supports that both traditional and online platforms can work together to sustain the coverage of critical social issues in places where full freedoms for the press are limited.
