Italy falls 5 spots in world press freedom index, AGI cited

Italy falls 5 spots in world press freedom index, AGI cited

'Member of Meloni coalition trying to buy press agency' says RSF

Italy has dropped five slots to 46th in the latest world press freedom report by Reporters Sans Frontieres with the case of press agency AGI, set to be sold to League MP and rightwing newspaper proprietor Antonio Angelucci, cited as one of the reasons.
    Rome is midway in the rankings topped by Norway and with Eritrea in last place, with RSF voicing concern over businessmen allied to governments taking over media.
    It cites the case of AGI, Italy's second biggest news agency after ANSA and owned for the last 40 years by state controlled oil giant Eni, which is set to be sold to Angelucci, owner of conservative dailies Il Giornale, Libero and Il Tempo, effectively by a top member of his own party, League bigwig and Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti.
    The RSF report says "an example of some political groups orchestrating the acquisition of the media ecosystem is Giorgia Meloni's Italy, where a member of her coalition is trying to buy the AGI press agency".
    While Meloni and Giorgetti say it is an anomaly for the State to own a news agency, AGI's journalists have struck against the proposed Angelucci deal and Italy's journalists union and liberal politicians have voiced concerns over freedom of the press and conflicts of interest.
