Dalla mitica Lettera 22 dell’Olivetti alle sfide dell’Intelligenza Artificiale: la storia del giornalismo in Italia.
Ada Guglielmino ritorna alla UWA per incontrare gli studenti di italiano del terzo anno di Italian Studies e condividere con loro le fasi della sua vivace carriera di giornalista.
Ada ha avuto il privilegio di vivere le diverse stagioni del giornalismo italiano a partire dall’uso della mitica Lettera 22 (la stessa su cui scriveva Italo Calvino e altri grandi della letteratura italiana del Novecento) all’arrivo di Internet, e fino alle odierne sfide presentate dal’Intelligenza Artificiale.
Stimolanti le domande e gli interventi da parte degli studenti e delle studentesse presenti che hanno interagito con la giornalista in lingua italiana.
