Florian Witulski
La Repubblica - FLORIAN WITULSKI è uno studente tedesco di 23 anni. Che si è trovato nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato. E l'ha descritto. Per farlo ha usato il solo linguaggio globalmente understandable. Pictures taken by un'iPhone, video shot with a video camera and brief descriptions to post on his blog 1. The League envoy to the case that no one had submitted was born. Then he moved into the eye of the storm to grow up fast, going in the contact-contact on Twitter where his followers have gone from 100 to 5 000 in less than a month - on Facebook 3 and Vimeo 4 .
His reports from Bangkok were taken and appeared in France 24, Der Spiegel and CNN, among others. But live its own life and endangering the lives of Florian. His guerra da vicino sta facendo il giro del mondo, ma la Rete non lo protegge. Non vuole farlo. Witulski s'infila nelle situazioni più pericolose, entra nel mezzo dell'azione e della guerriglia appena ne ha l'occasione. E' stato messo in carcere in Iran, gli hanno sparato in Thailandia, è stato ricercato dai servizi segreti come spia. Lui è semplicemente un blogger d'assalto.
A Teheran c'era andato per studiare il movimento artistico underground. Un giorno qualsiasi un tassista qualsiasi sbagliò strada e finì per cambiare anche quella di Witulski. La macchina si trovò circondata e in mezzo a una violenta protesta. "Ripensando a quei giorni", scrive Witulski, "forse avrei have understood that something was happening in the country. "Inexperience." Once our car was locked, I just thought to take some pictures. "Sure. Who would not think of doing the same thing as you on board a taxi, surrounded in Iran during a protest.
A moment later, the Iranian secret services broke the window, covered his head with a hood, destroyed his camera and took him to jail, where for two days after the student subjected to interrogation. One hour without sleep and without food. Forrest Gump of journalism assault in Witulski was allowed to keep his iPhone. For the secret services was only an MP3 player, and he, undaunted, continued to take pictures from the compartment. "They thought I was a spy, and that the center where I worked in Laos would deal with nuclear weapons," he described on his blog once outside the prison. "Nonsense", he continued to write almost amused. But enough nonsense from exhausting them to opt for a holiday. In Afghanistan.
Needless think uncontrolled passion for the news to Witulski is simply an addiction to adrenaline well controlled. His interests are traveling, Italian and Thai cuisine, music, electro and anything that has to do with art / design and film. Following in his footsteps Blog, Florian, all better known as @ Vaitor, arrived at Khok Wua April 10, where he was hit by a bullet to the arm and then worked (of course everything is filmed and documented 5), 17 Daeng was in May and 19 May to Rajaprasong. Her face by a German student with milk white skin, red cheeks and Bermuda as a tourist it pass through gates where anyone else, even if equipped with card and newspaper, would not move. Or did not want to spend.
Born in a small town near Hanover, Florian writes not only of war. It offers different ideas and news, things that affect him. E ' a normal blogger. That is well aware of the risks they run. His articles are accurate and comply with the rules of journalism online and now has well defined characteristics. Text in first person point of view, without comment, description of particular knotted in a more general framework to be deducted by sliding the post one after another. Days of the war beyond the diary. Short titles, dates, photos, video instead of words. And comments are open. @ Vaitor which often does not respond. And 'the line of the legend. And the war becomes an event to the point where the hero is just a student who says, "you can be perfectly safe even in the midst of a shootout if you know what's going on around you." A times. Sometimes not. And so a video shot inside the protest in a square, ending with the sound of a gunshot and then the sudden black. And the viewer has the impression of being on the spot. The post shows shortly after the injury. Then the operation. Chalk. And in the end it all starts over again with no reference and no special effects.
Florian Witulski want to stop with his reporting, after Bangkok. He says he wants to return to his original project in the field of Laos Nok Saliyavong founded with her friend. Green- gathering.com 6 takes care of creating new opportunities, creative and artistic, for the local youngsters. He also plans to return to study e finire il master. Mentre un Università canadese si è già offerta di mantenerlo in viaggio per due anni e permettergli di terminare il suo progetto. Chi lo segue seduto dalla cameretta lo incita a non smettere. Gli chiedono di continuare a filmare la guerra. Di raccontarla. In giro ce n'è tanta. C'è il Darfur, c'è l'Iraq. E i giornali, le righe di testo da inviati non bastano più. Ora bisogna essere in grado di stare in mezzo alle bombe. Sperando che ci sia campo. E una connessione in grado di superare il rumore degli spari.
