Well, the official “wedding” was a month ago (article here) as the two websites for Barga joined hands and became one with three full-time journalists plus a backup team of 30 correspondents dotted around the area all working together on one bilingual site – www.barganews.com.
Now it looks as though that was not enough and believe it or not it would appear that there is to be a uniform for all those involved on the site.
This afternoon the three main journalists, Keane, Luca Galeotti and Maria Elena Caproni were in Gallicano checking the new T-shirts and gadgets which will shortly be on sale via the site and in other places in Garfagnana and Mediavalle.
The screen printing company, SERIVAL who have been collaborating with the giornaledibarganews over the last couple of years on the groundbreaking ibarga project (main site here) were once again hand printing QR codes on the T-shirts which can then be scanned by an iPhone or any of the new smart phones and will then take you directly to the website.
Le nozze sono state celebrate. Barganews.com e giornaledibarga.it stamattina si sono uniti in matrimonio e la nuova famiglia ha dato vita a barganews.com, l’ideale fusione tra i due siti che da ora in poi offrirà a tutti quelli che verranno leggere le notizie da Barga e da tutta la comunità un prodotto diverso ed innovativo. In effetti di vero matrimonio si è trattato, con tanto di sindaco Bonini con fascia tricolore a celebrare le nozze tra le due testate giornaliste online di Barga unite grazie allo sforzo comune di Keane, Luca Galeotti e Maria Elena Caproni. – full article here
