Antefatto -- The YouTube Channel for Il Fatto Quotidiano
Ciao a tutti!
It's been a while since I updated this blog, so I want to spend the next few days alerting you to some great resources for listening and practicing your Italian language skills.
Having said that, I want to remind you of the power of YouTube! There is a lot of content online that you can use to practice your Italian. A friend of mine uses it to watch Italian movie trailers and the occasional movie that is posted online at YouTube. Another likes to follow blogs and video blogs of various Italians online. I want to bring your attention to Antefatto, the YouTube channel for Il Fatto Quotidiano.
Il Fatto Quotidiano is one of the few news sources in Italy that isn't controlled by the Italian government or run by Berlusconi's media empire or his family. It is extremely independent, receives no government support and is sustained by its readers. This video channel on YouTube has interviews with some interesting characters as well as video stories on things going on in Italy -- a superb way to practice your Italian while at the same time learning about what's happening in Italy from a news source that is reliable.
It's no secret that the Italian press, particularly RAI, Berlusconi's TV/media units, often does not cover controversial figures or controversial events in Italy. But with Il Fatto Quotidiano, you hear from voices that you might not get to hear from while at the same time improving your comprehension skills.
