Carlo Gubitosa’s Summary
I am a telecommunication engineer working since 1996 as a freelance journalist for many major italian newspapers, writing about social issues and no-profits activities. I collaborate since 2003 with the faculty of communication sciences in Bologna as lecturer, and currently following the development of a Content Management System (CMS) realized to fit the need of non-profit organization. I wrote 9 books in italian language about social communication, forgotten wars and other issues. I strongly believe in the power of non-violent social change that communication technologies can reveal, and I am interested in any kind of research activities that could help people to understand and control this power.
