The blank page with the word censorship published last week by The New Province of Biella was not only a kind of defense office of the media. All legitimate. Former Quaestor lawsuit, the court issued a ruling condemning the newspaper to pay compensation of 25 thousand euro. We will not, therefore, the merits of the measure. Is not the place and it is not our style.
Taking a cue from this incident, but spontaneously move some
considerations.
1) consequences of that decision, 2) dramatic examples and unsolved, and some personal
.

1) and 'no doubt that a publisher of a local paper who is forced to pay an amount
so strong, can suggerire al direttore in futuro
di sfumare, meglio evitare questioni spinose che potrebbero analogamente
causargli danni economici irreparabili. "La Provincia" può essere
criticata, (ma sarebbe interessante però un bel confronto a 360 gradi su
tutta la stampa locale) ma senza andare a scomodare Voltaire, un paio di
principi soggettivi e oggettivi li ha sempre osservati. Su queste colonne
tutti, da destra a sinistra hanno trovato spazio. In più non ha mai fatto
sconti a nessuno, toccando argomenti scomodi. Il direttore ha già
precisato che nonostante il danno economico non si discosterà dai
principi suddetti. Ciò che potrebbe e che dovrebbe stupire (a me un po'
less) is the lack of reaction from everyone, especially the political world
. This laissez faire, laissez passer
is in line with general indifference, but apparent that surrounds our
territory. Of course everyday problems are very different. If a newspaper closes
who cares, even better. The Biella, as the majority of Italians
ask themselves: How do I get to the end of the month? Where can I find another job
? How do I pay the rent? Young, Where will I go to work? But those who have chosen to
and institutional roles of government, and even
opposition has a duty to provide answers to those questions are desperate.
Instead we see a serious program credible né sul tema del lavoro, né
su quello della famiglia. Figuriamoci quindi se qualcuno si preoccupa
delle conseguenze di un bisettimanale. Speriamo sia la volta buona così ci
togliamo di mezzo anche quel rompi scatole del direttore che è ingestibile
e che rappresenta una mina vagante.

2) Esempi caduti nell'oblio. Il 23 febbraio 2007 posi una targa sotto i
portici della ex Standa, alla presenza di tanti colleghi, alla memoria di
Augusto Festa Bianchet. Era un UOMO. Una persona. Un essere umano
indifeso. Morì dopo essere stato in quel luogo, pestato a sangue e
seviziato. Gli autori di quel crimine tremendo son rimasti sino ad oggi
sconosciuti. No door to door, no plastic, for Augustus. Not even any
Vespa, sic!
Spring 2004, Zumaglini gardens. In the course, if you prefer the edge of
a political rally, a person is beaten and bruised,
shows the fracture of the jaw. I still do not know the authors.
This newspaper gave wide dissemination of both news. There
returned several times on the piece. I wonder, but there is still the indignation?
someone has asked this, but then something new? Panta rei!
We come to the personal examples. I regret it, but the reverb
the blank page.
February 2008. Pop the case on the exchange of votes. Operation studied
a time table in order to get in trouble, in the jargon of
kill me, a year after the elections. The "day" on page
national, but look a bit ', called the "Mayor of Biella, elected by a
exchange for votes." Large echo from the local newspaper.
smiles and jokes. The prosecutor calls for archiving. Compensation, who has convictions for attempted
infagarmi, no. Patience. Some people wondered who was behind
? Just read the documents.
Spring 2009. Garbage released a booklet in full election campaign. An attempt to denigrate the
half the town.
Too bad that the cover bears the logo of the list that brought my name and I argued, in order to induce the purchase in a misleading way.
someone is asked why? Who was behind the pseudonym? I sued, won
. No compensation.

We could go on. We just made some notes on what it means
a blank page. The sentence is then a marginal. The risk
instead of a newspaper closes, it means turn off the light on a city that has increasingly
shadows.
It would take a flash to shed light on a policy whispered, salon,
from the late Roman Empire. It would take a flash light to warm up their consciences and minds to
groped once again to resurrect this Biella
screwed into a crisis, even before the economic pessimism even
cosmic time. The risk is that in this silence becomes a land of conquest
of predators and the best men go. That is already happening
. No wonder, as she whispers, and as befits
in similar events, if you hear talk of revenge and retaliation.
I have already tried, but I think it's over. Who sings out from the pack,
runs this risk. As I wrote to a friend recently, unfortunately or fortunately
consistency is not always equal to the cost. Vittorio
