Common Questions
What is CiberCuba and is it reliable?
CiberCuba is a Miami-based Cuban diaspora outlet founded in 2014. It is a legitimate journalistic source at the breaking-news tier; significant claims require independent corroboration given its reliance on family contacts and social media for on-island reporting.
Who owns CiberCuba?
CiberCuba is an independently operated digital media company. It is not affiliated with any Cuban government entity or major US media corporation; it is privately held by its founders in Miami.
How does CiberCuba get news from inside Cuba?
CiberCuba relies on family contacts of political prisoners, diaspora networks, social media monitoring, and Cuban state media cross-referencing; it has no resident correspondent staff inside the island.

Background

CiberCuba is a Miami-based digital news outlet serving the Cuban diaspora, founded in 2014, combining original reporting on Cuban affairs with viral video aggregation, social media monitoring and breaking-news coverage. It leans centre-right editorially and is widely read by Cuban-Americans in south Florida, with reach extending to on-island Cubans via VPN and mobile data.

CiberCuba was among the first outlets to report the hunger strike by Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara at Guanajay prison in April 2026 and broke details of State Security threats against him from family sources. The outlet operates entirely from exile, relying on family contacts, social media monitoring and Cuban state media cross-referencing for on-island claims, in contrast to 14ymedio's on-island correspondents. It is listed as a verifiable citation source in this topic's editorial brief, sitting at the diaspora-press tier: its breaking-news reporting is treated as a lead requiring independent corroboration before primary citation.

CiberCuba was among the outlets relaying the 8 July 2026 removal of San Isidro founder Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara from Guanajay prison, and covered the 6 July 2026 total collapse of Cuba's National Grid after the Nuevitas thermoelectric plant's Unit 6 failure, treating both as fast-moving, diaspora-relayed stories needing independent corroboration rather than confirmed fact.

The outlet's viral-video aggregation work has made it a significant source for geolocatable protest footage from inside Cuba, particularly after the July 2021 nationwide protests, in which it provided real-time coverage.
