Italian journalists strike over Berlusconi law
None
Most Italian newspapers and news bulletins closed down for the day on Friday as journalists went on strike over government plans to restrict reporting based on material gained from police wiretaps.
The issue has galvanized opposition to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at a time when he faces a split in his center-right coalition and a fight to pass a 25 billion euro austerity package aimed at shoring up Italy's strained public finances. (Reuters)
