Colleague Marta Rojas is the main site editor, together with Gerardo Daumont. During the launch, Armando Hart, director of the Martí Program Office, praised the value of this new digital publication and suggested further enriching its content by extending the analysis of the presence of Martí's principles in eminent 20th century figures.

On this site, readers can access up-to-the-minute information on the Games, as well as data of interest on the history of these regional competitions and Cuba's participation. In this launch Lino Oramas, deputy director of digital editions, highlighted the ongoing link with the readers of Granma publications on Internet and specifically mentioned the Miami5 site, a joint effort between Granma International and the daily to circulate the truth surrounding the case of the five Cubans imprisoned in the United States for combating terrorism, with versions in six languages.
