The curtain falls on the sixth edition of the GDS Academythe brand of South Publishing Company that saw students and students of schools and university protagonists within the “Gazzetta del Sud in class with us magazine” project. After a season full of events in the name of the information information and responsible journalism, the final day took place at the Auditorium of the Polo SES, as part of the activities of Unime Gds Lab, the journalism laboratory created in collaboration between SES and the University of Messina and coordinated by the head of the GDS Academy Natalia La Rosa and Prof. Maria Laura Giacobello.
The meeting was dedicated to a full immersion among the media of the SES network. In RTP’s television studios, the participants had the opportunity to dialogue with the head of the Rosario Pascuito, with the journalist Domenico Bertè and his colleague Francesca Stornante, and with Mauro Cucè, head of the website and TV-deigital editorial coordinator. To emerge, in particular, as underlined by Pascitiuto, the responsibility of a communicative activity that directly reaches thousands of people every day, through a means, such as RTP, which is truly “the television of the Messina” and which will celebrate the half century of life next year. Cucè emphasized the original productions, “which have given us great satisfactions”, such as The Stage, Messervola, Scirocco and the young Tg, underlining the primacy of the Gazzetta website, the most clicked by Naples down, and the profitable interaction between the various media. “The first thing we learned – Bertè highlighted – is not to think that our eyes see, but those of the citizens, investigating reality with the thoughts, ideas and needs of the Messina”. Stornante instead recalled the service mission of the local TV: “In this editorial staff what we do almost every day is to help the people who turn to us, because they often have not been able to have answers from the bureaucracy”.
The dialogue between young people and the chief editor Lucio D’Amico, head of the RTP of RTP, who deepened the organizational aspect of the editorial staff: “Creating an article or a television service is never easy, of particular intensity. When you read a newspaper it almost seems that everything ends at that moment. But behind each page there are days of organization, programming, and above all selection of news ». D’Amico has retraced his long professional experience, and the daily commitment in the story of the territorial chronicles following the profound changes, including technological ones, who have characterized journalism, while, however, he always remains intact the duty to respect the truth and people. Among the themes touched also the specificity of the paper newspaper, the relationship between the objectivity of the news and the personal idea of the writer and the balance in the narration of a strategic but “divisive” theme as the realization of the bridge.
Meanwhile, as the Rosa pointed out, inscriptions are already open to the seventh edition of the Academy, in view of a “special” birthday: the 30 years of the sight we Magazine, who will resume publications in October.
