Cuba Si TV
I went to the Cuba TV station through WWwitv.com web site. It’s interesting how similar it is to the American TV web sites. Which is funny with Cuba considering how they have limited resources from America due to them being cut off. They have the typical news, sports from what I can tell due to the language barrier, different pictures with familiar faces helped me understand what they were talking about. Its cool and confusing to look at the site and automatically assume that the new is about what is going on in America, it becomes a cultural shock to see the news being done in a different country. The broadcast would be a lot more interesting if I could understand what they were saying. This was an interesting experience and I am fascinated by the different media outlets that other countries have.

Ashley,
It is amazing to see news this way, it is like looking at yourself outside your body. Weird.
I wonder if you could actually understand what they were saying if your impressions would be different. I have a few friends that are Cuban immigrants and one thing that shocked them when they came to the US was the difference in perspective. In Cuba, the news is slanted anti-American, pro-Castro.
Good find. I think we all need to learn more Spanish! I also like your take on it, Patty. Like looking at yourself outside your body indeed...
