2025-04-02

At the fourth Patria International Colloquium in Havana, Ricardo Ronquillo, president of the Union of Cuban Journalists, has called for the resumption of discussions at the United Nations for a new world information order. In doing so, he highlighted the growing global information inequality. Addressing the colloquium, attended by 400 political communication experts from 47 countries, Ronquillo said the new world information order was a key 1980s debate, connected to the UN’s McBride Report, also known as “Many Voices, One World”. The present world order is “far more inequitable” than when that report was published, he said.
