“Assuming journalism is like a mission”, these are the key words for this historic moment, that, quoted by vice-president of the Association of Cuban Journalists (UPEC) Antonio Molto, made a clear reference to our National Hero, which calls for the greatest dedication to their profession: but for that, the journalist must achieve self preparation in order to face the challenges that will be presented.

Any day now, an organization or institution could come up with the idea of marking World Webmaster Day. The webmaster, a significant figure in the digital and virtual context of the early 21st Century, has been occupying a place in the social work of mankind since last century, particularly since 1989 following the opening of the World Wide Web, when the first webmasters worked as administrators of systems capable of producing hypertexts.

Those first webmasters were in charge of uploading contents to the Web and keep the research information provided by scientists updated. As the network increased the number of users and hooked PCs, the role played by the webmaster took on a new charisma, since he had to convince the people to get in and publish their documents on the Web, according to the forerunners of these systems.

Oblivious to any regionalism or narrow-mindedness, this Cuban and universal journalist and universal has a special feeling to his native land and city: Santa Clara. That's why we talked to him about being selected this Cuban central city for the second time in the recent years, the venue  to celebrate the anniversary of the attacks on Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes barracks in Santiago de Cuba and Bayamo, respectively on July 26, 1953.
