Bohemia Magazine (Revista Bohemia), is a Spanish language illustrated magazine based in Havana, Cuba, that was founded in 1908.[1] It is the oldest general consumer magazine in Cuba, and the oldest magazine in all of Latin America.[2][3] It provides articles relating to political commentary, long-form journalism, history, historical analysis, and fashion advice. It claims to be the first magazine to publish the work of Cuban artists in full color.[4]
During the first forty years of its existence, alongside its human-interest articles, Bohemia was often critical of government overreach in Cuba - admonishing the actions of Machado, Batista, Grau, and other Cuban government administrations, enjoying the privileges of free speech to varying degrees.[5]
Under the Machado government, the revolutionary dictator began to censor the media in the 1930's, and Bohemia became the most vocal magazine in opposition to the crimes of the government.[6] Under the Batista regime, the dictator used his Wartime powers to impose strict censorships on popular media.[7]
After the Cuban Revolution, the magazine came under the current communist censorship of the Castro regime and those who followed, and many believe the modern magazine to be a propaganda outlet of the communist government.[8][9] However, Bohemia has recently begun publishing articles with a journalistic perspective of the government, including unfavorable opinions about government mismanagement - especially its mismanagement of Covid-19.[10]
