Raffaele Mastrolonardo

After several years spent at the University doing research I turned journalist in 2000. Member of the Italian Journalist Association (Ordine dei Giornalisti) since 2001, I have been writing extensively on technology, Internet, media, American culture and politics for several Italian and international media such as Corriere della Sera Online, il manifesto, Monthly Vision, Limes, OpenDemocracy, ZNet, OhMyNews International.

From March 2002 to June 2005 I was in charge of the the press office of Programma Cantieri - Dipartimento della Funzione Pubblica, a state program aimed at spreading innovation throughout Italian public sector.

Along with journalism I am engaged in various teaching activities with Universities and public and private training agencies on topics related to communication and media.
