In recent weeks much has done much to discuss the publication of the Freedom House report on freedom of information that has downgraded Italy from free country (free) to partially free (Partly Free), the only case in Western Europe with Turkey.

Almost in the same time as the report was released by Freedom House was presented in Rome the Company Pannunzio for freedom of information in the ' Institute for Policy Innovation is one of the promoters.

The Company Pannunzio, inspired by the "Societe des Ami de la liberté et de la presse" and politically neutral, is an association that aims to unite those who care about the fate of what Immanuel Kant called "freedom of the pen" and that intend to discuss and advance proposals for reform. To emphasize the strangeness of each corporate spirit by the action of the "Company" the statute also provides that the presence of journalists can not exceed one third of the members.

Subliminal advertising, lack of publishers 'pure' concentrations of communication tools in the hands of a few these are the threats to freedom of information that may jeopardize the existence of a complete political democracy. The reference to the journalist Mario Pannunzio be understood as a perfect reminder of the battles of civilization conducted by "World" and its director, and the "Movement Salvemini".

Particular attention is devoted to freedom of information on the Internet, running a close topical theme in recent months (and who has dedicated one of the first documents of the Association, the Orange Book ).

The Company does not intend to stop Pannunzio the testimony of ideas, but is also committed to concrete actions of protest against the violations continued, and now tolerated by all of the legislation.

To paraphrase Albert Camus, one can argue that the freedom of information "can of course be good or bad, but it is certain that without freedom there can be nothing but bad."

So I decided to also support the Company Pannunzio personally and invite you to do the same .
