HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 4 (ACN) The main days of the Cuban Press Day begin tomorrow with a pilgrimage and laying of wreaths at the grave of Juan Gualberto Gomez (1854-1933) on the 91st anniversary of his death.
The homage will be paid at the Colon Cemetery to the distinguished patriot from Matanzas, founder of several journals in Cuba and Spain and chosen by Jose Marti to organize the preparations for the Necessary War in the country.
According to the program of the Cuban Journalists Association (UPEC by its Spanish acronym), awards will be given to outstanding institutions in communication and attention to the press, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice, as well as the opening of a collective photographic exhibition.
The award ceremony of the Felix Elmuza Distinction (1917-1956), and the presentation of the Jose Marti National Journalism Award and the Juan Gualberto Gomez National Annual Journalism Awards are also scheduled.
Cuban Press Day has been celebrated every March 14 since the early 1990s to honor the date of birth of the newspaper Patria, founded on that same day in New York by Jose Marti as a "soldier of freedom".
