The presence of the Cuban radio and television in the most popular cultural event of the country, responds to the need for encouraging the dialogue with the creators;, the links with writers, artists and intellectuals ; likewise the confrontation with their audiences.
A recurrent theme is to alert on the urgency of rescuing the essential specialties for radio and television like the writing of screenplays, scripts, basic outlines and the development of investigations about the mass media.
The Cuban Institute of Radio and Television (ICRT) will attend the 20th International Book Fair, through its publishing house EN VIVO, The Minister of Culture, The Cuban Association of Writers and Artists of Cuba, the Cuban Union of Journalists and the Cuban Book Institute which have contributed to the creation of this project including the publication of books and a digital and printed magazine.
During the Fair eight tittles by different authors, such as Reynaldo Gonzalez, Josefa Bracero, Norma Galvez, Paquita de Armas, Sahily Tabares and Mayra Cue, will be launching.
