Talking about the Internet. It certainly set information free from time and space tyranny. Yet there is much to do in Italy to rise online journalism from the schemes of paper news spreading, as well as the reader from routine.
"The Internet changes many things – Vittorio Roidi wrote in his book La fabbrica delle notizie – It changes relationships, both private and business ones. It modifies journalistic communication: plenty of information reaches our computer monitors, close to printed newspapers or magazines, and TV news. The boundaries of space disappear, and everyone can mould his own journal, deciding what's interesting. We're the ones who decide, without being submitted to anyone else's choices."
How do the big Italian online networks, such as La Repubblica and il Corriere della Sera, respond to the reader's freedom ambitions? Hypertextuality is a must.
