Hugo Rius Blein: Journalism, like bread and water

Hugo Rius

This Friday, August 26, Hugo Rius Blein, José Martí National Journalism Award winner for his life’s work, passed away. The interview that follows is just over five years old. From it emerged (and vice versa) a television capsule that we have placed at the end of the text. With it, the Union of Cuban Journalists remembers his life and his dedication to journalism. Hugo was born on August 23, 1940 in the Havana neighborhood of Luyanó, where he also became an adult.
