Federazione Nazionale Stampa Italiana calls for journalism strike

The Federazione Nazionale Stampa Italiana (FNSI) has called for a day of work abstention to protest against what it describes as the deterioration of journalism quality and the presence of ‘blackmailable’ journalists.

The federation claims that for over a decade, the industry has suffered from staff reductions, wage cuts, layoffs, and frozen contracts. These factors, according to the FNSI, have negatively impacted pluralism and the public's right to be informed. The organization seeks to protect the democratic role of journalism against economic pressures and political influence.
