About us
elTOQUE is an independent multimedia platform that brings you Cuba in all its diverse, complex, creative, and also sometimes painful or hidden reality. Our very existence is a commitment to the diversity of voices, styles, and functions among the media that publishes for Cubans and others interested in Cuba.
We began in 2014 as a project of the Latin American department of the Dutch non-governmental organization RNW Media (formerly Radio Nederland Wereldomroep). In 2017, after that organization changed its work strategy and ended its presence in Latin America, a team of young Cuban journalists and bloggers who had been managing elTOQUE since 2016 accepted the challenge of keeping the project alive, but only in our hands. To this end, we created the Colectivo Más Voces Foundation, legally registered in Poland due to the impossibility of obtaining legal status either as a media outlet or as an organization in Cuba.
The Colectivo Mas Voces Foundation finances elTOQUE and its allied projects from grants and International Cooperation projects (for example, Fondo Velocidad, MEEDAN y la International Fact-checking Network), collaboration agreements with other international media, and income from professional services rendered by the CATAO agency, its commercial arm.
The quality of each content in any of the formats or genres, and editorial independence, are essential to us. The media's agenda is decided collectively by the editorial team, always considering the information needs of our audiences and the opportunities to place issues that are silenced or little addressed in other communication spaces in the public debate.
We do not respond to the interests of any political party or government, inside or outside the island. Demanding transparency from the Cuban Government and its officials, as well as maintaining vigilance over power, are a fundamental part of our day-to-day efforts.
