Their strength is not the same, but their ideas are, and they do not stop. They no longer carry out their former responsibilities, but they continue with the same dedication and desire to do and create. Martí said it well: «When we are dedicated to work, there is no way that sorrow can overcome us. Today, life is not the same. Their gray hair is not a sign of age, on the contrary, it is an experience acquired many years ago, and today they are faithful witnesses of what we are forging.
On this day, and as part of the activities to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the founding of Trabajadores, the Technical Advisory Board was formed for the first time with the main directors and members of the ideological sphere of the Workers’ Central of Cuba (CTC) who were part of our house, as well as with the living directors that the publication has had in these more than five decades. History, talent, life and dedication united in the consolidation of a better work according to the times.
The main objectives of this idea are to promote the editorial policy and the profile of the media from their experiences and perspectives; to contribute to the creation of new journalistic topics; to stimulate the work of the collective with a permanent and respectful exchange, as well as to enrich each new printed edition and the transformation of the weekly into the multimedia TRCUBA, among others. The premise is only one: together we can create more.
Frank Agüero, who was editor of the newspaper in the 1990s, pointed out: «Although we are in good editorial times, we have to take care of the reason for being, so that we don’t lose the editorial profile of the newspaper and maintain a close, organic and polemical relationship with the CTC and its unions.
We need ideas like this,» said Ermela García Santiago. We can do it, we have already taken the first steps, and now we are going to achieve a better positioning and visibility for our newspaper. We are the voice of the workers, and as such we have to work for it».
History has its names: Pedro Ross Leal, Frank Agüero Gómez, Magalis García Moré, Alberto Núñez Betancourt, Olga Rosa Gómez Cortés, Haydee Montes Cabrera, María del Carmen Machado Figueroa, Ermela García Santiago, Consuelo Baeza Martín and Manuel Fernández Malagón. Our Technical Advisory Board is already in place and we are looking for more, because there is a lot of talent and skill.
