It’s under the eyes of everyone, as far as information is concerned, Italy is a country that is partially free. This reality must be changed and it must be changed now.
The first right of citizens is to be correctly informed in such a way that they can judge and make choices. A right that today is often denied.
It is necessary to have a redesigning of the Italian radio and TV system to protect the principle of free information and to allow the transformation of the private broadcasters into companies with shares held by a wide shareholder base, without owners to refer to.
The Internet is the future of information. Information that comes from the grassroots, the spread of fast connections, new technology like WiMax are the areas in which the Italian System must invest to guarantee free access to knowledge.
From the month of June in Milan, Italia dei Valori is starting a series of public events with stands and seminars about True Information.
The points we put forward to start off a true change in information are:

1 Guarantee the rights of citizens to be informed correctly, so that they can judge and make choices
2 Total separation between politics and those who own information media
3 Prohibition on companies, groups or individuals to control information media at a national level.
4 Invest in innovative Internet technologies
5 Eliminate subsidies to publishing
6 Exit from the RAI-Mediaset duopoly to allow the presence of other bodies
7 Liberalisation of the TV frequencies, reviewing how they are assigned on the basis of criteria of fairness and freedom of information
8 Fair redistribution of advertising and thus eliminating the current RAI-Mediaset duopoly
9 Defining and putting into place rules to evaluate the moral and professional integrity of journalists.
10 Make the RAI independent of politics and without advertising
11 Redefine the public TV structures to guarantee the quality of the contents, and bringing Culture and Information into the early evening slot.
