Pirating Radio Marti
Smith, Wayne S. | January 27, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on Radio Marti, virtually a Cuban exile propaganda organ paid for by U.S. taxpayers. It was believed that Radio Marti would be more cost-effective simply to expand existing Voice of America (VOA) broadcasts to Cuba. Radio Marti went on the air in 1985. Many sincere and dedicated employees tried to live up to the original mandate. Over the years, however, the station came increasingly under the control of Mas Canosa, whom President Ronald Reagan appointed chairman of the President's Advisory Board for Cuba Broadcasting.
