In this concise and detailed work, Salim Lamrani addresses
questions of media concentration and corporate bias by examining a
perennially controversial topic: Cuba. Lamrani argues that the tiny
island nation is forced to contend not only with economic isolation
and a U.S. blockade, but with misleading or downright hostile media
coverage. He takes as his case study El Pais, the most widely
distributed Spanish daily. El Pais (a property of Grupo Prisa, the
largest Spanish media conglomerate), has editions aimed at Europe,
Latin America, and the U.S., making it is a global opinion leader.
Lamrani wades through a swamp of reporting and uses the paper as an
example of how media conglomerates distort and misrepresent life in
Cuba and the activities of its government. By focusing on eight key
areas, including human development, internal opposition, and
migration, Lamrani shows how the media systematically shapes our
understanding of Cuban reality. This book, with a preface by
Eduardo Galeano, provides an alternative view, combining a
scholar's eye for complexity with a journalist's hunger for the
facts.
