L’AMICO MARCO FORMENTO (al Secolo un pezzo grosso del Secolo XXIX online) ahhhh ahhhh che gioco di parole!!!!, ha rincarato la dose in merito ai dubbi che esprimevo anche io ieri su Peppersushi relativamente alla copertura Internet-mediatica delle Olimpiadi di Torino.

La storia sembrerebbe ripetersi per i mondiali tedeschi prossimi al lancio. La WAN (World Association of Newspaper) oggi ha scritto a Blatter esprimendo formali lamentele sui divieti vari di parlare di Giochi nell’era dei blog e del Citizen Journalism. Cito dal blog di Marco:

Dear Mr. Blatter … we are writing to express our deep regret and dismay about FIFA’s unilateral decision to withdraw from discussions on the restrictions that your organization has placed on media coverage of the 2006 World Cup. Your ’final’ position on these restrictions, which your representatives have informed us is no longer open to any negotiation, remains completely unacceptable to the world media community …

… your restrictions on our journalistic coverage of the 2006 World Cup not only deprive our readers and clients of access to important information on a public event, but constitute both an interference in editorial freedom and independence and a clear breach of the right to freedom of information as protected by numerous international conventions.
