Now that the polls for the run-off round are closed, the Association of Journalists of Puglia can intervene publicly on the affair involving the Honorable Claudio Stefanazzi (Pd). The deputy turned to the prefect of Lecce to censure the behavior of the Telerama broadcaster which, on the occasion of the electoral campaign for the election of the mayor of Lecce, informed of an electoral meeting between the president Michele Emiliano and some medical managers of the ASL of Lecce. On this occasion, journalists did their duty: to exercise citizens’ right to be informed. And President Emiliano’s meeting with the medical leaders could not be exempted from reporting rights. The fact that the centre-right was able to “exploit” the news is not the responsibility of journalists.
Just as it is not the responsibility of journalists to operate within a law that allows a publisher to become a regional councilor or parliamentarian and a regional councilor or parliamentarian to continue to be a publisher. The short circuit that occurred in Lecce should advise those sitting in Parliament, like the Honorable Stefanazzi, to commit themselves to ensuring that the conflict of interest in the publishing field is resolved once and for all.
