University of Bari - Aula don Tonino Bello, via Crisanzio 42
Protecting freedom of information means defending every aspect of democratic life, civil rights, human rights, environmental and ecological justice. By the level of press freedom is measured the resilience of the rule of law. In Italy, the growing instability of the publishing system and the transformation of young journalists into poor workers is failing to guarantee turnover in a category that is increasingly thinning its ranks. Yet, as Article 1 of the Testo Unico deontologico states, journalists and editors together must guarantee the protection of sources and are bound to respect professional secrecy, thus they are co-responsible for the news circuit. While Article 2 of the Code of Ethics only concerns journalists, Article 1 calls into question the publishing system in its entirety. But today, new legislative reforms undermine the citizens’ right to be informed, the EU is sounding the alarm about justice reform, protection of journalists, reckless lawsuits and the plurality of public service which is all but ignored.
