Granma is the name of the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party. The name comes from the boat Granma that carried Fidel Castro and 82 other rebels to Cuba's shores in 1956 launching the Cuban Revolution. The newspaper is published daily and is widely read. Several weekly international editions are also published in various languages and distributed abroad. The government run newspaper is a mouthpiece for the Cuban goverment.
The normal edition is published six days a week (not Sundays) and runs to eight pages plus occasional supplements. Recent supplements have included one marking the electricity company's purchase of vans and trucks from China, and another marking the start of the 2006 football World Cup.
