02/10/13 - Daily Astorian - Telesur news channel gives Cubans glimpse of world
In this Feb. 1, 2013 photo, pictures of Cuban leader Fidel Castro and
Cuba's President Raul Castro hang on the wall of a home as a television
shows the Venezuelan channel Telesur in Havana, Cuba. Telesur, which is
bankrolled primarily by Venezuela, has been broadcast live about 12 hours a
day on the island's open airwaves since Jan. 20. Telesur's outlook may be
sympathetic to Cuba's socialist model, but it's still a relatively
unfiltered news source, and many say the decision to carry it here is as
groundbreaking as other recent reforms, such as legalizing more private
businesses or allowing greater travel freedom. Telesur was conceived as a
force for regional integration and as a counterweight to Western channels
such as CNN and the BBC. (AP Photo/Ismael Francisco, Cubadebate)
