30 years of "La Repubblica"

30 years of "La Repubblica"

For all the Italians and whoever is interested.
Today "La repubblica", the newspaper that changed the journalistic approach in our country, celebrates his thirty anniversary (http://www.repubblica.it/speciale/2006/trentanni).

On January 14th, 1976 Italians first found in the newsstand a journal that on the first page declared itself "independent but not neutral".
In the middle of the crazy and hard '70s, that was a way to say something different and free.

That project started like the dream of a newspaper made by journalists and not by industries, money, editors.
In thirty years, trough all the difficult adventures and histories that this country has had, "La Repubblica" is become the second main newspaper all over Italy. Of course many things are changed in the format and in the approach. Too many.

But its story is still important, and exciting, at least till the freedom dream was really followed (look at "La sera andavamo in Via Veneto" by Eugenio Scalfari....that book is amazing!). And the newspaper is still a very good product, acoording to his time and space conditions.

This thirty-year story deserves an happy birtday. At least from people that still believe in old fashioned things such as freedom of press and power of opinions and words.
