The editorial committee of the Secolo XIX expresses surprise at the umpteenth attack on the work of our newspaper’s journalists by the Toti List. This time the orange list, which bears the name of the journalist and now former president of the Liguria Region, is targeting two judicial colleagues from the Nineteenth who for weeks have been following the investigation into suspected corruption that led to the arrest of Giovanni Toti last May 7. It is sad to remind the Toti List – whose coordinator is the journalist and deputy Ilaria Cavo – for the umpteenth time that It is not the political parties, of whatever colour, that say what news and how should be published.
Evidently Toti and Cavo, who have not been involved in journalism for years despite still being members of the Order, have forgotten not only the principles of the Code of Ethics of their professional order but also how to report and inform, believing instead that it is correct that only news that they like should be published: perhaps this is why there are countless times they have called the editorial office of Secolo XIX to ask for an interview or for one of their press releases to be published in the newspaper.
The journalists of the Nineteenth, who certainly they won’t be intimidated from these baseless and seriously defamatory attacks, they point out that all the contents of the contested articles are clearly confirmed by numerous investigative documents and etc.will continue to carry out their work in favour of correct informationas a free and independent voice of a territory and a population that they have always considered their natural publisher.
