MEXICO CITY — Michael Weissenstein, a veteran correspondent and editor who currently serves as Cuba bureau chief for The Associated Press, has been named all-formats news director of a newly unified Caribbean Bureau, headquartered in Havana.
The appointment means that the AP is returning its Caribbean base of operations to Cuba, the region’s largest country, for the first time in 55 years. The decision was announced Monday by Paul Haven, news director for Latin America and the Caribbean.
