The National Council of the Order of Journalists “expresses concern about the succession of episodes of restrictions and lack of respect for the activity of sports journalists, a phenomenon that invests different sports and different categories”. This is what we read in a note published on the ODG website. “The last report comes from Calabria where a joint press release of the Order, the Us and the Circolo della Stampa of Cosenza denounces” an attitude of closing towards the local press bodies, which offends the work of dozens of journalists and lites the right to information “by the Cosenza Soccer company”.
“Just to mention the month of July: the Order of Lazio and the Usi had to intervene for a press conference of Lazio Calcio who should have been running out of closed doors and with pre -packaged questions. In Sicily, however, the offensive words were stigmatized towards some colleagues from the Giornale di Sicilia by the President of Trapani Basket. These are episodes that bring out, even in the world of sports clubs, drives to restart the information spaces. Freedom of the press must always and in any case be guaranteed, to protect citizens’ right to be correctly informed, also applies to sporting events “.
