IV ANALIZA MEDIJSKIH VSEBIN V ČASU FIDELA CASTRA IN PO NJEGOVEM ODSTOPU Ključne besede: mediji, cenzura, Castro, Kuba UDK: 316.774(043.2) Povzetek V diplomskem delu smo se posvetili republiki Kubi in njenima voditeljema Fidelu in Raulu Castro. Kuba je socialistična država, v kateri ima vso oblast Komunistična partija Kube. Ljudje živijo v splošnem pomanjkanju, a predvsem tista starejša »Castrova« generacija, še ima upanje, da se bo stanje v državi izboljšalo, medtem, ko mlajša generacija utopično gleda na izboljšanje razmer. Področje, na katerega smo se osredotočili, so mediji in analiza medijskih vsebin na Kubi. Primerjali smo stopnjo cenzure na Kubi v času obeh vladarjev Castro ter, kakšen vpliv ima državna oblast na medije. Na kratko smo proučili vladavino obeh karizmatičnih revolucionarnih voditeljev ter predstavili Raulove pomembnejše reforme. Raziskava temelji na proučevanju knjig in revij, predvsem pa na osnovi številnih informacij in podatkov, ki jih najdemo na spletu v obliki člankov in blogov. V MEDIA CONTENT ANALYSES IN CUBA DURING THE FIDEL CASTRO REGIME AND AFTER HIS RESIGNATION Key words: the media, censorship, Castro, Cuba UDK: 316.774(043.2) Abstract In this thesis we focused on the Republic of Cuba and it's leaders Fidel and Raul Castro. Cuba is a socialistic Country, where the whole power belongs to communistic party of Cuba. People there live in poverty, but the older “Castro” generation still hopes that the situation in their country will improve, while the younger generation is very doubtful about better times. The media and media content analysis were the major point of this degree. We compared the level of censorship under both leaders and discussed the impact of Cuba on its media. We also studied the government of both charismatic and revolutionary leaders. We also introduced Raul’s most important reforms. The research is based on books and magazines, but the main source of information was the world wide web.

Proučevali bomo tudi novinarstvo in kaznovanje novinarjev ter svobodo izražanja v času vladanja Fidela Castra in od leta 2008 njegovega brata Raula Castra. Dotaknili se bomo nenehnega embarga, ki ga izvajajo ZDA nad Kubo in na primeru Googla navedli, kako so kubanskemu narodu dodatno kršene človekove pravice. V prvem delu naloge bomo predstavili Kubo, bivšega voditelja Fidela Castra ter sedanjega voditelja Raula Castra s poudarkom na njegovih reformah. Raul Castro, brat nekdanjega kubanskega voditelja Fidela Castra, je začel uvajati postopne reforme po prevzemu predsedniškega položaja leta 2008. Novi predsednik je večkrat priznal, da sedanji sistem na Kubi ne deluje, kljub temu pa je zatrdil, da bo Kuba ostala socialistična država in, da bo ohranila enostrankarski sistem. Odkar je predsedniški stolček zasedel Raul Castro, so Kubancem ukinili celo vrsto omejitev in jim omogočili dostop do prej prepovedanih potrošniških dobrin. S prevzemom nove oblasti so nastale vidne spremembe na medijskem področju. Raul Castro je omogočil, da se je kubanska televizija začela odpirati tujim televizijskim programom. Aktivirali so štiriindvajseturni televizijski kanal, ki večino časa predvaja programe iz tujih držav (B. Kvas, 05.05.2008). S februarjem 2011 so Kubanci med drugim lahko pričeli uporabljati mobilne telefone, DVD predvajalnike in mikrovalovne pečice. Uvedel je tudi reformo, ki Kubancem dovoljuje, da bivajo v prestižnih hotelih, ki so bili prej rezervirani zgolj za tujce. Kubanski predsednik je odobril zemljiško reformo prenosa neobdelanih kmetijskih zemljišč v zasebne roke z namenom, da se poveča proizvodnja hrane (Delo.si 18.07.2008). V osrednjem delu diplomske naloge bomo proučevali vrste medijev, kot smo jih že predhodno omenili. Tako bomo proučili tiskane medije, radijske in televizijske programe, njihovo vsebino ter ciljno skupino poslušalcev. Raziskovali bomo dostop do interneta potem, ko je Kuba dobila le-tega šele z nastopom Raulove vladavine potem, in je bila to ena izmed njegovih prvih reform. Medijske vsebine na Kubi so še vedno cenzurirane, 1 Analiza medijskih vsebin na Kubi v času Fidela Castra in po njegovem odstopu televizijske in radijske postaje predvajajo »mehke vsebine« od poljudnoznanstvenih do dokumentarcev in številnih nadaljevank.

  • Cuba in the Time of Coronavirus: Exploiting a Global Crisis
    Cuba in the time of coronavirus: exploiting a global crisis Part I: Pandemic as opportunity April 7, 2020 If any country was ready for the global pandemic, it was Cuba … but not how one would expect. Its regime has responded to the coronavirus crisis by kicking into high gear to reap economic and political gain while attempting to enhance its international image, blame the United States for its problems, and erode its economic sanctions. This time, however, its usual trade-off of repressing its people for external gain is looking like a riskier gamble. Photo: CubaDebate.com In early to mid-March 2020, as most countries took increasingly drastic measures to contain the spread of coronavirus, the Cuban government was striking deals to hire out its indentured doctors, hype its questionable medications, and lure tourists while ignoring the cost to its own population. Its huge state apparatus instantly deployed its arsenal of asymmetrical weapons ¾intelligence and propaganda¾ that are the hallmark of its unique brand of soft power.1 It has proven quite effective to “alter the behavior of others to get what it wants”2 in the world stage and it has an uncanny ability to use its people as political and economic weapons. Although the 61-year old Communist regime rules over a repressed and impoverished people and a tiny, bankrupt economy, it has carefully crafted a fake narrative of Cuba as a “medical powerhouse” and “the world’s 1 Joseph Nye, a political scientist and former Clinton administration official, coined the post-Cold War concept of “soft power in a 1990 Foreign Policy piece.

Powell Secretary of State Chairman Stolen from the Archive of Dr. Antonio R. de la Cova http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/cuba-books.htm FOREWORD by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell Over the past two decades, the Western Hemisphere has seen dramatic advances in the institutionalization of democracy and the spread of free market economies. Today, the nations of the Americas are working in close partnership to build a hemisphere based on political and economic freedom where dictators, traffickers and terrorists cannot thrive. As fate would have it, I was in Lima, Peru joining our hemispheric neighbors in the adoption of the Inter-American Democratic Charter when the terrorists struck the United States on September 11, 2001. By adopting the Democratic Charter, the countries of our hemisphere made a powerful statement in support of freedom, humanity and peace. Conspicuous for its absence on that historic occasion was Cuba. Cuba alone among the hemispheric nations did not adopt the Democratic Charter. That is not surprising, for Cuba alone among the nations of Americas is a dictatorship. For over four decades, the regime of Fidel Castro has imposed upon the Cuban people a communist system of government that systematically violates their most fundamental human rights. Just last year, the Castro regime consigned 75 human rights activists, independent librarians and journalists and democracy advocates to an average of nearly 20 years of imprisonment.

  • It's Getting Dark for Shortwave in Atlanta! – 8Pm
    It's getting dark for shortwave in Atlanta! – 8pm The gray line, also known as the terminator (I'll be baaack) is practically here. Do you know we can use the gray line to communicate (or hear other stations) much easier than normal? When it's dusk here in Atlanta (in August), you can make contact with stations in Southern Greenland, Northern Scandinavia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Western India quite easily. Load any gray line program on your computer to see for yourself. By the way, if you're an aspiring SWL or ham DX'er, you'll use the gray line often. Sometimes twice a day! Don't forget the dawn terminator, which highlights different parts of the world. North American pirate radio is definitely starting now. Especially on weekends and holidays. 6925 USB is still the most active frequency. Last week, I heard 3 different pirates at the same time! 6925, 6930 & 6935. Amazing. Signals are much stronger than any other time of the day. Many stations are beaming towards North America now. Many of them are religious, which I will avoid in this article. Some stations are quite interesting. Others extremely boring - usually government run. Some stations seem very strong for being so far away (Radio China International and Voice of Vietnam come to mind). That's because they lease transmitters from Canada to get much stronger signals into North America. Something to be said for one-hop propagation. China Radio International is even broadcasting to us in digital DRM delivering great sounding audio. So what are some of the better stations we can hear on short wave after eating dinner Tim? You can try Radio New Zealand.

  • May 11, 2017 Subject: Australian Broadcasting Corporation Amendment – Restoring Shortwave Radio Bill to Whom It May Concern: W
    May 11, 2017 Subject: Australian Broadcasting Corporation Amendment – Restoring Shortwave Radio Bill To Whom it May Concern: While it’s true that shortwave has played a vital role in informing people over the many decades that it has been in use. Today they’re only a few regions where shortwave is still important. These include: Parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, East Asia and Latin America. In the last 5 years alone there have been major infrastructure investments in new technologies, such as G4 phone networks that have given millions access to a wide range of information. While some broadcasters such as the BBC World Service, Voice of America, and others continue to use shortwave. It is by no means their only distribution platform, but over the last few years they have reduced the number of hours and frequencies or even cut them all together in certain regions. For Radio Australia the best option would be to continue for a little while longer until new distribution platforms are in place. One option would be the use of DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale). At the moment Radio New Zealand International use a low powered DRM, which is received and then rebroadcast on FM. RNZI’s DRM schedule: 1651 – 1835 UTC – 6115kHz 1836 – 1950 UTC – 9760kHz 1951 – 2050 UTC – 11690kHz These three transmissions are used for local stations to broadcast RNZI content. It’s more cost effective than standard shortwave and offers studio quality. At the same time they do keep at least 1 regular shortwave frequency on the air that is changed at various times as to provide the best audio quality to the region.

The Democratic Charter clearly states: “The peoples of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it.” In fulfillment of that solemn obligation, the United States remains strongly committed to supporting the efforts of the Cuban people to secure the blessings of democracy for themselves and their children.
