Periodismo De Barrio

http://www.periodismodebarrio.org/

Periodismo de Barrio is a digital magazine that develops research on communities affected by natural disasters or especially vulnerable to phenomena such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, fires, landslides, or others caused by the impact of man. It covers topics such as biodiversity, environmental pollution, sustainable development, natural disasters, economy and industries, natural resources and food sovereignty.

Its objectives are:

Expand and diversify information on the impact of climate change on vulnerable populations in Cuba through the production of journalistic investigations in different formats and genres.

Increase job opportunities and spaces for social advocacy and training through the incorporation of Cuban professionals linked to communication (journalists, designers and photographers).

Contribute to the decision-making processes of decisions by local governments, private and state institutions and Cuban citizens through the production of content in different formats and genres and its distribution through various channels.

Insert journalistic production on Cuban environmental issues into the ecosystem of Latin American and Caribbean media and their audiences through the consolidation of links and alliances for the joint creation of content.
