Interesting issue, but more importantly:
Who did she ask for permission? The Cuban regime?
If so, why does a foreign journalist need to ask the Cuban regime for permission to report on anything?
Moreover, what happens if the foreign journalist disobeys and does the story anyway?
I asked permission 4 months 2 do a story on fishing problems in #Cuba. Was flatly refused. Not @Granma_Digital though http://t.co/C2m8Nt63yV
