Enhancing its work –now not only as a news agency, but also a multimedia center- particularly speaks of the fact that it was the first and remains to date the most consulted and best positioned Cuban site on the Internet (number three of the “Top Sites in Cuba”, only surpassed by Google and YouTube), ranking 2560th in global international traffic.
That is confirmed by Alexa, an entity that for more than two decades has calculated the popularity of websites from all over the world.
Something also admitted by the study “Digital 2021” on Internet consumption patterns in the world, conducted by two important communication companies: We Are Social and Hootsuite.
Prensa Latina’s impact is directly influenced by the fact that it issues 350 news notes daily in six languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, Russian, French and Italian), most of which coming from its 40 correspondent’s offices in the America’s, Europe, Asia and Africa.
But also the top quality services it offers, now from an updated, more attractive, interactive and easy-to-access portal, in which remarkable changes can be seen in terms of graphic and audiovisual contents, aimed at drawing the reader’s attention and loyalty.

Likewise, Prensa Latina Televisión also makes a contribution to it, offering programs, such as NoticieroSemanal, Panorama Cultural and newscasts for TV channels from different countries, interviews and reports that also feed the portal on YouTube.
