I am happy to announce that we have sent our Cuba Watch - Newsletter Welcome Issue to more than 650 opt in subscribers with our first issue scheduled to be sent out on Wednesday October 19, 2011. The information service is free (until further notice) and you can sign up here.
If you were on the mailing list as of today, you would have seen this…
Since you opted in to receive this newsletter, you must be a Cuba watcher!
We want to welcome you and more than 650 other opt-in subscribers.
We are your “eyes and ears” for Cuba news and information.
Cuba Information Service
Cuba Watch is much more than just a newsletter, it is a complete Cuba information service.
CubaWatch - Newsletter #x: We will send one Newsletter per week on Wednesdays. This mid-week timing will allow you to be informed in the middle of the week so you will have current Cuba information yet have the rest of the week to act on information that interests you.
CubaWatch - Breaking News: When there is relevant breaking news, we will send you an email so you don’t miss something important. We won’t waste your time with irrelevant news. We will send such an email very rarely.
CubaWatch - Good to know: If there is an upcoming Cuba related event or some other interesting piece of information that we think you should know about, we will send you an email because we think you would like to have this information before the next Newsletter is released. We will send such an email very rarely.
CubaWatch - Keyword/Industry monitoring service: If there is a particular Cuba keyword or industry that interests you, we offer a keyword/industry monitoring service. We will gather news, blog posts, domain name registrations and other information so you can stay up to date with information customized for you. At this time, this is a free service but may start charging a fee in the future.
About the news and information we offer to you: Much of the Cuba related news and information we find tends to be skewed to the left or to the right depending on the author or the source. We manually filter out extremist propaganda and only feature actual newsworthy information. However, sometimes propaganda is worthy of inclusion but we will most likely offer commentary of some sort in order to educate you about the content or source of information.
About Havana Journal Inc: We are a Massachusetts based media network consisting of nearly 40 developed Cuba related websites featuring a variety of business models. We read dozens of news articles and blog posts from many different sources every day. We have more than 700 contacts in our Cuba database and regularly exchange emails and have phone conversations with a wide variety of Cuba experts and information sources from across the US and around the world. We hope you agree that this qualifies us to provide you with our unique and valuable Cuba Watch information service.
