El Mundo Newspaper

On April 11, 1901, the newspaper El Mundo began to circulate in Havana and was the first newspaper with the characteristics of a modern journalistic enterprise in Cuba. It was the official representation of the Cuban National Party (PNC). Its owner and director was José Manuel Govín, who adopted populist forms and themes, with an essentially informative sense, in order to meet the expectations of the average reader. At that stage it had only four pages with four columns; a few years later, it reached forty-four pages with eight columns. El Mundo introduced engraving as a complementary graphic element in the Cuban press, as well as the daily social chronicle. It was also a pioneer in the presentation of trichromes and color advertisements in the daily press.
