THE LETTER OF RESIGNATION FROM MARIA LUISA BUSI TG1, ITALIAN TV NEWS, TO THE DIRECTOR

“Dear director, I ask you to be relieved of the speaker role of Tg1 at 20.00, as a situation has arisen that does not allow me to carry out this task without compromising my professional convictions. This is a difficult but obligatory choice. For me to consider the editorial line a sort of hijacking, for which Tg1 risks falling into a definitive loss of credibility.

Where is the real country? Where are the young people, for the first time with a worse future than their fathers? And are the forties still precarious? And the hundreds of companies that close and the entrepreneurs who take their own lives? Where is this Italy that we have the duty to tell? That Italy exists. But tg1 has eliminated him.

I also buy toilet paper for my daughter in a public school, but in the evening, on the Tg, we only give space to ministers who present the new great project for the digitization of the school, including an interactive multimedia board ”.

On May 21, 2010, following persistent conflicts with the editorial line, Maria Luisa Busi resigned from running TG1 at 8pm.
