Ever since the beginning of the Google News service, or at least since they started offering RSS/Atom feeds of news search results, I subscribed to the feeds of a search for the term "Cuba", and I continually get results from Prensa Latina, Granma as well as from "El Nuevo Herald" and such. I get results both from English and Spanish version of Cuban media, and I have to confess that I have got to know Cuban newspapers that I didn't previously know they existed. And I should also say that Google News recently started a .cu version of the site, which filters and shows news mostly related with Cuba or even international news preferably from Cuban and Cuban-American media. The full address is http://news.google.com.cu/ just as there are versions for <a href="http://news.google.com/news?ned=es_cl" rel="nofollow">Chile</a>, <a href="http://news.google.com/news?ned=ca" rel="nofollow">Canada English</a>, <a href="http://news.google.com/news?ned=fr_ca" rel="nofollow">Canada French</a> and several other countries and regions (China, Israel, Portugal, Peru, etc). You can see all the available regional versions at the bottom of the <a href="http://news.google.com/" rel="nofollow">homepage of Google News</a>. Glad you found out, but this is not new.
