The forum, attended by journalists, bloggers, and other professionals, will open on Saturday with the panel “Anniversaries that mark Cuba’s reality: 50 years of the Cuban News Agency (ACN) and 25 years of the Cuban Roundtable TV program: Impact on the news and cultural events of the nation.”

Event Coordinator Luis Ernesto Ruiz stated that participants will dedicate another day to triangulate mass media, communication, and services, based on the experience of the ACN and the Ideas Multimedios platform by photo-reporter and director of the ACN editorial staff in Holguin, Juan Pablo Carreras, and journalist Oscar Figueredo.

Finally, a debate on political communication, social networks, and artificial intelligence in the current media scenario will be chaired by Ideas Multimedios journalist Dailén Vega on May 6. The Romerías de Mayo cultural festival, organized by the Hermanos Saíz Association (AHS) in Cuba, celebrates this year three decades since its foundation and the 65th anniversary of the Casa de las Américas cultural institution and the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC).
