Well, I should be working right now (even if it's saturday), but I was always curious about press freedom in the world and the general lack of it in Italy. Since I finally found the source of the annual worldwide press freedom ranking, I wanted to share it.
The website is Reporter sans Frontiers and the 2007 ranking still shows a very sad situation for Italy (after the 40th position in 2006): we are 35th, last among western European countries, even after (but no offence is intended towards these countries) Costarica, Ghana, Namibia and Taiwan!
And the worst part is that in Italy no one seems to know or care about... But, of course, if there is incomplete press freedom how could the news be reported?
It's really a bad moment for my native country, especially in view of next elections with opposite parties which seem to have the same approach to the social and economical problems.
