WebTV. Taking the lead in local news

Innovative, visionary, independent. And proudly small. The world of micro-webTV in Italy is growing rapidly, providing a multiplicity of channels over a wide range of formats and focus. Local, especially hyperlocal, news is the prime beneficiary – the information gap left by the decline or disdain of local newspapers and regional TV channels is being filled enthusiastically. And despite shoestring budgets, webTV nonetheless frequently offers a leap forward in quality of content in that the institutional connivance that so afflicts much of mainstream Italian media is totally absent.
