“Non mi iscriverei mai ad un club che accetterebbe la mia iscrizione”. Michele Mezza si presenta così su Facebook, con una citazione di Groucho Marx. Fifty-eight years old, born in Naples, he studied in Milan, Perugia teaches and lives in Rome. He is the founder of Media without mediators, a group of over 100 of students, teachers and observers of the media, which has gathered around the chair of theory and technique of the new media degree course in Science Communication at the University of Perugia. The Network has been and is the object of their reflections.
Journalist, university teacher, researcher, writer, certainly one of the great experts of the Network Work in Rai as deputy director of new media. Half will be
Michael Varese Monday, February 14 to present his new book, I'm the news, beauty! Winners and losers in the war of speed Digital, Donzelli Editore.
How did this book?
"It's the work of ten years. I put together the experience gained in Rai News24, and then at the University. This season we have experienced profound changes. The Internet has ushered in a new era. We are not in the presence of a product innovation, but a radical process innovation. We can talk about listening as a social internet techonology, in overtime reporting system that allows the individual to hoist himself on the shoulders of countless dwarves. "
On the site without mediators Media says that "Web 2.0 are not the giants that make us see far away, but rather is the endless swarm of dwarves to make us go faster. " The fact remains that access the Internet in Italy only 50% of the citizens. And the others?
"It's true, but that is what Negroponte said prophetically in 1994: the master of change is given. Is realized as they advance the next generation. From the birth of the digital age are already at the fourth and the audience is increasing. A turning point we have now with mobile and social networks. We are the first in the world to use these tools. Will mean something? "
But some complained about the long delay and technology infrastructure ...
"Of course, there is no project that moves services on the net, but I did not rip off your clothes for the lack of broadband. The network is a social phenomenon rather than technology. "
In this regard, the book proposes a project that starts from the territories. What does this mean?
"I speak as an editor of the territory because they are convinced that the place must be protected technology standards. In the U.S. mayors to worry about connectivity because it allegedly a primary resource such as water, light and gas. The georeferencing is the development of the network. Making the land use plan map on Google is an exercise in transparency that would allow you to manage important services, just think of the traffic. The municipality thus become a key partner for any operator of the territory to compete in the global marketplace. "
A central part of your book is about journalism. They published many books that tell of the change, but what do you think is going on?
"There is a transition from paper to bits and this is unequivocal, but there are still many problems. To understand what is going on just look at the two parties involved: the readers and journalists. The first, for the first time in history, are ahead of others. They are more equipped in every way and the focus is shifting to them. To tell how things develop in this area I always like to use the metaphor of the toll collectors. Once automated all railway lines and crossings, if the toll collectors are calling a strike, do not realize even their mothers. " Michele Half
you define a "built in" Network of the study and use it, but that attitude did not know that much of fanaticism. To understand just read his profile of the most popular social network. "By Facebook in one of the last, after long lucubrations. Perhaps it is the emblem of a contradiction personal hatred of those who have nostalgia for the good old days, but I am party. For good or very bad. Save me Inter. The Good. "
