Blogging hits the Italian media

ludo, Monday 02 May 2005 22:44:54

It may be the first time an Italian blog makes the headlines in national news. Gianluca Neri, the host of the popular group blog Macchianera, has published today the full "declassified" text of the US report on Calipari's death in Baghdad. Gianluca has been the first to notice that the Acrobat file of the report distributed to the press was not encrypted, and had basic editing operations still enabled. Copying the text and pasting it a new file allowed him to restore the full text, circumventing the black mask applied to classified parts. The news is making the rounds of all national newspapers and TV stations. A commented timeline of the events (in italian) on Webgol. Bravo Gianluca.
