Newspapers and Democracy in the Internet Era: the Italian Case — Monday 23 November, 17.30–19.00
The famous Italian Newspaper Repubblica posed 10 questions to Silvio Berlusconi about his relationship with a teenager. He decided not to answer.
It could be weird behavior on the part of the Italian First Minister, though acceptable. What has been unacceptable is Berlusconi’s decision to sue Repubblica because of those 10 unanswered questions.
