Talk:Lotta Continua

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To Tazmaniacs:

according to Italian law, any newspaper has to have a "responsible editor", i.e. a professional journalist (inscribed in the "Albo dei giornalisti")who takes legal responsibility for what's written in the newspaper.

In early days, since no one of the people writing on "Lotta Continua" at the time was a professional reporter, there was the practice that "intellectuals" from the left -but not only- (such as e.g. Pio Baldelli and PP Pasolini), who were inscribed in the "Albo dei giornalisti" would "lend their name" so that the newspaper could be published.

Pasolini was very far from sharing "Lotta Continua's" political positions. In those years, he was close to the PCI, and expressed his views mostly on the "Corriere della Sera". It is not appropriate to list him as an "editor" without explaining this particular situation.Giordaano 13:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
