Title: Fellow Talks Blogging, Without Freedom of Speech

Cuban journalist Yoani Sanchez is one of the foremost online advocates for free speech worldwide. Her personal blog, Generación Y, is translated into two dozen languages and receives over 14 million hits per month, and she started Cuba’s first daily online newspaper, 14ymedio. Sanchez brings her knowledge of communication in closed societies to Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service as the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy’s new Yahoo Fellow in International Values, Communications, Technology and the Global Internet. Sanchez will be on campus for the 2014-2015 school year, and she will teach a series of short workshops and seminars for the MSFS this spring on how to best use social media in closed societies. This interview has been translated from Spanish and edited for clarity.
