Controversy

[edit]

In January 2022, Granma, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, reproduced the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)'s list of 2020 grants and identified Editorial Hypermedia as a recipient of $93,941.[20] The newspaper described the grants as part of U.S. efforts to influence Cuba and titled its article "Millions of U.S. dollars to destabilize Cuba".[21] Granma had previously reported that NED provided $60,000 to Hypermedia Publishing Inc. in 2018.[22] The NED describes its Cuba program in terms of support for independent media, civil society, and democratic development. An academic research by Cosette Cecelia Pérez states that “Part of this new journalism, although it aspires to transformations in the political system, does not want to be related to the traditional human rights groups, their rhetoric about democracy and their ties to the United States, so they are looking for new discourses to participate in and transform the public, as well as new forms of financing.”[2]
