Nel rapporto 2009 di Freedom House (organizzazione non-profit e indipendente fondata negli Stati Uniti nel 1941 per la difesa della democrazia e la libertà nel mondo) l’Italia viene retrocessa per la prima volta da Paese 'libero' (free) a ' parzialmente libero ' (partly free) , only case in Western Europe along with Turkey. a decline that shows how even established democracies and open with traditional media are not immune from restriction to freedom. On a rating scale to 100 (the least free), Italy gets 32 it is the only Western country with a report card so low. The best are the nations of Northern Europe and Scandinavian countries: Iceland, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. According
Karin Karlekar , the researcher who led the study, "Berlusconi is Italy's main problem, since his return in 2008 has revived fears about the concentration of public and private media under a single leadership, "he says. "Freedom of speech has been limited by new laws, courts, the growing harassment of journalists by the organized crime and excessive concentration of media ownership" .
Just over one third of the 195 countries surveyed currently provide the freedom of the press are labeled 'free' only 70 states, 36% of the sample. Sixty (31%) are 'partly free' and 64 (33%) are 'not free'. According to the survey Only 17% of the world's population lives in countries that enjoy a free press.
For some it is news of little significance, for others it is unexplained and inexplicable survey, for others it is an obvious confirmation of the existing state of affairs.
I believe that the danger of a setback is always around the corner and we can not afford to underestimate such a prospect. Who has taken the road that leads to the same epilogue of Politkovskaya?
