Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez, who chronicles everyday life on the
communist island, was awarded one of Spain's top journalism awards last
week.

The Spanish newspaper EL Pais awarded its annual Ortega and Gasset prize
for digital journalism to Sanchez, 32, for her Generacion Y blog.

The paper lauded her "shrewdness" in overcoming freedom of expression in
Cuba, her "vivacious" style and efforts within the "global space of
citizen journalism."
