BLOGGER Yoani Sanchez announced on Thursday that her planned digital newspaper “14ymedio” will on Wednesday become the first independent Cuban news outlet in half a century.

Sanchez, 38, whose prize-winning blog Generacion Y is known for its critical take on her homeland, said she was braced for a propaganda campaign against her by the government of President Raul Castro.

“It will be a difficult road,” she wrote on her blog.

Some members of her team had already received “their first warning calls” from state security, she added.

Describing the digital newspaper as “a space to tell stories about Cuba from within Cuba,” she expressed hope it “will help and accompany the necessary transition that will take place in our country.”
