Italy is undergoing a virtual news blackout of mainstream media due to a strike by journalists in a pay dispute. Domestic news agencies shut down yesterday as print journalists began a 48-hour stoppage. They were joined this morning by broadcast journalists and say they will return to work on Sunday. TV and radio news has been limited to a few short bulletins a day, while only a few minor newspapers were available today. The journalists are protesting about a stalemate in contract renewal talks with media publishers. (Via International Herald Tribune)
