We will always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty.

J. Pulitzer

I want you to know the truth. Then you will be free of cynicism. And of the sticky swamp of racism our society has been sliding into.

Anna Politkovskaya

An old studio opposite the British Museum. A sofa in front of me with a magnificent  ninety-five year-old with a striking memory and eyes twinkling among wrinkles: they have seen so many things…

This is one of the most vivid recollections I have of the beginning of my professional career as a student of a Masters degree in journalism, catapulted in Russell Square, London, to have an interview with the great Jo Rotblat, a straight timber of humankind: he was the only physicist who left the Manhattan Project for the making of the first atomic bomb, as soon as he discovered the Nazis didn’t have the Bomb.

Journalism is currently my passion and profession. I am a regular contributor to the most important Italian newsmagazine, L'ESPRESSO, and to  IL VENERDI’ of LA REPUBBLICA.

I definitely don’t think of journalism in terms of a career. I do think of it in terms of an authentic and deep interest. I relate to those people who love a profession and are dedicated to it.

I do believe in the strength of journalism, which I think it makes sense if and only if it is able to investigate and expose injustice and corruption.

Getting access to this profession required a huge effort: I haven’t spent so much time and energy for ‘merely printing news’.
