Tribune Company will open one of the first U.S. newspaper bureaus in Cuba since the 1960s. Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque informed Tribune yesterday that the Cuban government had approved
the opening of the Tribune bureau.
"News from Cuba has been important to U.S. readers for many years since before the Cuban missile crisis. American newspapers have done an admirable job of
covering Cuban news from a distance," said Jack Fuller, Tribune Publishing president. "A local bureau will enable our journalists to provide higher-quality coverage of general interest news, as well
as news of particular interest to the growing numbers of Cuban-heritage families living in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Florida and other Tribune newspaper markets."
