respect the irreplaceable value of pluralism in the press and on television, particularly public. This is the invitation launched by President Giorgio Napolitano at the Quirinale Information day celebrated with the winners of journalism awards and promoters who are granted membership of the Presidency of the Republic. The Head of State reaffirms "the discriminatory nature that the existence a press and a free and pluralistic information assumes, to distinguish democracy from despotism. "
Napolitano stressed that freedom of expression and its use requires analysis and proposals within the European Union, urging journalists not to underestimate the limitations and responsibilities of their work. The President said that "journalists are now living in Italy and difficult times in the Western world, as a result of accelerated technological change, the fallout from the financial crisis and global economic processes in the longer term restructuring of economic power in the publishing field."
