Paola (Cosenza) - "Ensure accurate and transparent information to citizens, the exclusive service of the truth, not the powerful or the fans: this is the duty of the journalist. " An entirely new concept for Franco Siddi, Secretary General of the Federation of Printing, which on several occasions, stressed the ethical value of information, as knowledge. " He wished to stress yesterday, hosted the meeting in Paola, at the end of the Mass Regional St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists, organized by the CBS of Calabria and was attended by three archbishops journalists, Salvatore Nunnari (diocese Cosenza-Bisignano), Luigi Renzo (Miles) and Giuseppe Fiorini Morosini (Locri), entered the Catholic Press Union and the Journalists' Union of Calabria.
"Credibility is the biggest challenge for the Italian journalists, and beyond - says Siddle - who have the task of helping people, providing a key, so that the news is really matter of choice. "
To do this, to ensure, that is, "a press that is not open to this or that way, journalism because of the professions, not mercenaries, - said the general secretary of FNSI - the media should rise above the purely economic issues, giving rather voice to those who did not have it. For the poor, the weak, so we can do so, fighting inequality and discrimination. The powerful do not need the press. "
An appeal for information to the courageous service of truth ", which must cross the boundaries of Catholic journalism," otherwise we will end up badly - he thundered Siddi - and in the media, from print to television, there will remain only two groups: on one hand the ideological, the deployed, in fact, the other the desperate, ready to do anything to work. "
Besides the signals out there, "especially in difficult regions such as Calabria - debuted Carlo Parisi, regional secretary Syndicate of Journalists, confirming the concerns of Siddi - where many, too many colleagues are exploited by publishers without hesitation: no salaries for months or a year, or fees from hunger, which are tantamount to an insult. "
The message is, once again, loud and clear: "Journalists in Calabria, and many others like them, need to respond - said Parisi - to defend the value of more expensive, their dignity and the right most normal , right to work. In decent condition. "
