«Radio Martí» is a radio station broadcasting to Cuba from the United States. It is funded by the United States government and operates under the auspices of the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). The station's primary mission is to provide news, information, and cultural programming to the Cuban people in Spanish, with a focus on challenging the Cuban government's official narrative and promoting alternative viewpoints.
«Radio Martí» was established in 1985 as part of the US government's efforts to counter communist influence in Cuba. The station's programming includes news, talk shows, music, and cultural features. While it strives for journalistic objectivity, it is often criticized by the Cuban government for its perceived anti-communist stance and its support for dissidents and human rights advocates.
«Radio Martí»'s broadcasts can be accessed via shortwave radio, satellite, and online streaming. It also has a website and social media presence. The station's impact in Cuba is difficult to measure precisely, but it is widely believed to be a significant source of information for many Cubans, particularly those who are critical of the government.
