The Cuban press is distinguished by an irreplaceable newspaper forever and ever. Patria, Martí’s newspaper, the one that continues to be our guiding course.
If for the National Hero does not deserve to write for men who do not know how to love them, for the men and women inspired by his pen, it is a common commitment to write for our people, to love its people with the passion of truth, of moral ethics, of social commitment.
In the third decade of the 21st century, the challenges for the nation’s press lead us to make an Army with greater preparation, to offer to the different audiences well-thought works, of marked transcendence, with solid arguments that provide information and knowledge about the complex Cuban reality.
Behind the imprint of Patria, we, the soldiers of ideas, must make an excellent exercise of self-preparation, constant study, the best selection of contents, knowing how to calibrate causes and consequences as well as possible, with convincing reasons.
After 132 years, Patria continues to be the compass in the current demands for the professionals of the pen and the word in Contramaestre, with the Marti’s concept that there is no monarch like an honest journalist.
To ensure that each written line has a purpose and to choose the right topics, must continue to be our path, our strengths, our victories.
The urgency is clear in the qualities granted to the press by José Martí. To direct, to explain, to teach, to guide, to examine conflicts, not to irritate with passionate judgment, to propose solutions, to establish and to base teachings.
In these good practices of Marti’s journalism, lies the power of the Cuban Press, to reach knowledge in order to continue being soldiers of the Homeland at the service of the people.
