Today, on the day of the national strike of Rai journalists, the regional Puglia news at 2pm was broadcast regularly. “In Puglia – we read in a note signed by Usigrai And Cdr Tgr Coordination – an unprecedented event happened. And it happened despite the fact that the vast majority of colleagues joined the protest and the editorial assembly expressed the willingness to join the mobilization by a very large majority (with 18 votes in favor and 1 against).

Nalla notes the union explains: “The director of Tgr and the editor-in-chief, thanks to a minority of colleagues, took on the responsibility of broadcasting the news, despite only 5 journalists in addition to the editor-in-chief being present, out of a total of 22 on time in the today. Furthermore, having recorded the sports page a few hours before the broadcast, this meant that nothing was said about the event of the day: the attack with kicks and punches on the sporting director of Bari football Ciro Polito”.
The press release from Ugrai and Cdr Tgr Coordination concludes: It is a serious responsibility and it is a choice that pains and worries us. It must be clear, however, that this is the decision of a minority that does not represent the editorial body to which the solidarity of the coordination of the TGR cdrs goes.”
