Rome, 10 July (LaPresse) – “I am dismayed and concerned for the media as a whole to learn that Rai has decided to use the pretext of the shameful and absurd speculations that have been circulated in recent hours through certain political statements and journalistic accounts to suspend the summer repeats of previously broadcast investigative episodes of ‘Report’.” This was stated by Sigfrido Ranucci in a statement released by his lawyer. “A suspension based on a justification that asserts exactly the opposite,” the journalist continues, “this is not the protection of the ‘editorial heritage of great value to the public service’ and of the programme, but rather the delegitimisation not only of myself but also of all the work carried out by individual journalists who, autonomously and independently, have produced important investigations and who represent a true heritage for journalism and democracy.”
