She returns to write .... In one month from fiery confrontations over politics, I talk about something more important: freedom of the press. How often we hear about it. Recent figures tell us how our country is only 35 positions for press freedom, with a slight upward trend over the previous year. We are too far the top position. Industry, politics, but also the simple sports clubs have become a persuasive journalists. Just say a half-truth going to annoy someone and now the reporter is forced to stop. Now, I say, this is indifference. Phrases trivial things known for a long time. But I want to give you a concrete example. Practical for some years that the fencing in Turin in one of the most prestigious clubs in the world.

Not yet officially allotted to the post I wrote several articles on sporting events. Now a month ago, in September, I wrote a letter, a thing of the withdrawal racing.
