CubaNow is an independent cultural and historical publication for English-speaking readers. It covers Cuban cinema, music, literature, history, food, art, and society. The site is edited by CubaNow Editors, an anonymous editorial desk that writes clear, sober cultural journalism. Articles open with a direct answer, explain Cuban or Spanish terms on first use, and close with a list of sources.
What the site publishes
The site publishes original explainers and short cultural profiles. Readers usually arrive from a search engine with a specific question about a film, musician, writer, dish, historical moment, or social practice in Cuba. Topics range from the films shown at Havana’s International Festival of New Latin American Cinema to the history of ajiaco, a stew that combines meats, root vegetables, and corn. Each article gives the basic answer first, then adds context and documentation. The editorial voice is neutral and research-based, not partisan or promotional.
How articles are researched
CubaNow Editors relies on verifiable sources: archives, library catalogs, museum records, Cuban state media, and academic publications. Screening dates, exhibition records, and publication details are checked against primary programs or press reports. When a claim comes from a single source, the text attributes it. Estimates and debates are marked as such, and oral tradition is distinguished from documented fact. For example, a film’s screening history is taken from festival catalogs or press coverage, not from memory or promotional copy. Sources are linked in each article’s Sources section. When archival material is not publicly available online, the article describes the collection or catalog where it is held.
How the site corrects errors
If a reader finds an error, CubaNow Editors reviews it through the site’s contact channels. Confirmed corrections are made in the article and noted as updates. If a correction changes a date, name, or factual claim, the update is marked so readers can see what was revised. Comments are turned off across the site, so readers do not leave public notes under articles.
