Report could be postponed. The first episode no longer on November 8, but in January. This would be the indication from Rai’s CEO, Giampaolo Rossi, to the director of In-Depth Reporting, Paolo Corsini, given what is happening in the newsroom of the Rai 3 program. After the removal of Sigfrido Ranucci from hosting, the newsroom has declared itself ready to take any action if the company does not backtrack on the names of the hosts Giulia Presutti and Daniele Piervincenzi, appointed in place of Ranucci.
Sigfrido Ranucci, another bomb from the prosecutors: what they are investigating, new shadows on Report
The fact that Valter Lavitola was a source for Sigfrido Ranucci, and therefore for Report, has never been a secret….
“Meanwhile – reports a behind-the-scenes story from Fatto Quotidiano – Corsini is personally contacting almost the entire Report newsroom, wanting to speak one-on-one with colleagues.” Faced with the possibility of postponing the start date, Usigrai is making a stand: “Rai’s leadership must guarantee the airing of Report as scheduled. There must be no postponement for the public service investigative program, a company asset that must be defended at all costs.”
Report, the blackmail of Ranucci’s loyalists: “First they leave, then we negotiate…”
“Our position is that the two hosts appointed by the company be withdrawn or withdraw themselves, hopefully…
And again, always in a statement. “The newsroom’s problems should not become an excuse to water down Rai’s investigative journalism or delay a program that politics has always considered ‘uncomfortable’ because it deals with power. The politics that comments on this affair should do the only thing it is meant to do: vote in Parliament for a Rai reform law that implements what is provided by the European regulation on media freedom and in particular of European public broadcasting services which must be independent from the government in power and have certainty of resources. The Company and its leadership should stop carrying out the private negotiations of these days and return to proper union relations by bringing back to the center of meetings the In-Depth Reporting Cdr and the representative bodies of the various company sectors involved in production.”
