Perspectives of 'Local' News
Granma, primarily known as Cuba’s main news source, is an official newspaper of the Central Committee of Cuba’s Communist Party that was formed by merging two formal papers together, Revolución and Hoy on the 3rd of October in the year of 1965. The publication of Granma gives thought to the united force of revolution that has been steadily evolving ever since the victory of the Revolution.
Granma’s key objective is to transmit its written works of the Revolution’s principles and studies, the achievements of Cuban conquests, including both the purity and wholeness of their race while focusing on daily events within its society and the relations with international feed.
Granma is internationally user-friendly as its weekly publications are offered in many languages such as English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Italian – also duplicated in Argentina, Brazil and Canada, extending its presence in over 65 countries. This is the same for the online version with daily updates of weekly international content to keep their readers up-to-date with what’s going on in the world outside of Cuban grounds.
Aside from its diverse languages in publications, Granma appears to offer much more by attaching news genres that are enlisted in further depth to give its readers a better insight of what’s happening within their categories, like Cuba, World, Sports, Culture, and Tourism. As an example of what may be offered on its homepage, here’s a brief listing of their top headlines:

The perspectives of Granma has similar aspects with the American newspapers in their choice of news categories, though their topics of news are completely different aside from their political aspects. USA Today is a primary example of an American digital newspaper that offers much more a mass variety in its news feed, branching out into different genres that go into a range of different sub categories of that particular type of theme whether in general news, sports, entertainment, life, money, tech, travel, and opinion, whereas Granma’s listings aren’t as broad and is focused more in the community of Cuban and its upbringings with only a single category that explores worldly news around the country. 
USA Today has a large network that explores local and national media organizations in the country, with a brand that is accompanied by a flock of regional media distribution channels, giving an account of news stories and ethnic movements occurring over America and within our neighborhood. The editorial content of USA Today is all-encompassing and is also known as the sole voice of the nation. Their news articles are presented as easily readable and convenient, where you’re not hit with an overload of detailed information but focused on the importance of the topic.
What sets this press agency aside from any other is that it is adjoined with over 200 local digital properties covering up to 45 states, with the enlisting of 4,000 journalists who live up to their duties as reporters within those regions, supplying promising news feed that fully covers the entire nation on the USA Today’s media platform. Whether it’s the difference in the culture or the importance of the news, whatever the case may be, the standpoint of news varies as well as their ideas of newsworthy stories. For instance, here’s a look at the top headlines from USA Today:
