Journalism 2.0? “A job for many, not for everyone”
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 | Articles | Comments Off on Journalism 2.0? “A job for many, not for everyone”
Dennis Redmont takes a picture of the state of the profession of journalist in the web 2.0 era in his contribution on the magazine “Aspenia Web 2.0: Potere e Libertà” – on sale since October 24th 2011. How does the role of journalists change within the new web platforms? How do they adapt their activities to new technologies? And how does the same idea of ‘editorial board’ evolve?
Journalism is no longer an economically rewarding job, at least for what the large-scale journalism of old editorial boards is concerned. All those brand-new types of journalism – such as on-demand and do-it-yourself journalism, or the use of anonymous sources and false identities – raise up one big question: is ‘real’ journalism dead? Are thus journalists a vanishing species? Absolutely not. Actually, a good journalist’s key is a constant application of standard rules. Essential and timeless rules. True journalists will continue to be clearly heard among the mass of voices coming from the web.

How it was handled by the international media?
Interviewed on the La7 show Coffee Break, Dennis Redmont said the clearing of the conviction of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito of the murder of English student Meredith Kercher in Perugia in November 2007, produces losers all around–the media, Italian justice and the families themselves.
9/11 : 10 YEARS LATER

On the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers, Dennis Redmont asks: what has changed?
In an interview with Sky TG24 on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the twin towers, Dennis Redmont gave his analysis of the consequences of the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Despite the ongoing war in Afghanistan, the West feels safer after the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. But has the threat of international terrorism truly gone away?
Redmont explained that though there are still active terrorist cells in existence, the threat they pose has diminished. After the bombings in Madrid and London there have been no verified attempts to launch terrorist attacks in the West: this in itself shows that the level of security is much higher than in previous years.
He concluded that attention should now be focused not on the threat of international terrorism but on the problem of a world economy in crisis.

USA: “United or Divided”?
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011 | Articles | Comments Off on USA: “United or Divided”?
“In recent years some dramatic, uneven shifts have turned the United States into a nation that’s harder to know in depth…and harder to govern. In 2011 Americans will realize their places and faces have drastically changed in the past decade”.
So Dennis Redmont wrote in an article for the Eni Oil Magazine Book.
“IT BEGINS WITH US”
Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 | Articles | Comments Off on “IT BEGINS WITH US”
US President Barack Obama has announced his intention to run for re-election.
Dennis Redmont was interviewed about the development on Radio Vaticana.
The big question was, “Who dares take him on?” In Redmont’s view, Obama’s chances for reelection are good, but external factors continue to effect the polls. Issues like Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and now Libya, and not least the state of the world economy, will continue to have unpredictable effect up until the vote in November 2012.
The annoucement of the reelection campaign came via a web clip sent to supporters on social networking sites, and posted on Obama’s official website, www.barackobama.com.
“I had a dream?” Usa Midterm elections 2010

Dennis Redmont was invited to speak on the USA’s midterm elections of 2 November on La 7’s Omnibus. The result should be understood as a semi-defeat for Obama, who maintained a slight majority in the Senate, while losing the seat majority in the House of Representatives.
“The United States have found themselves in the midst of a permanent election campaign. The so-called ‘Obama referendum’ has been a protest against the serious economic crisis threatening America, rather than a lack of confirmation of the president’s mandate. Obama’s reaction should be to shuffle out some new faces, such as the emerging Rahm Emanuel, and to keep on reminding the country of the small but important successes his government has achieved.”
