“Information is an important service for politics and democracy”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni underlined this, visiting the Ansa headquarters on the occasion of the agency’s 80 years. A story that began on January 15, 1945 with the first launch, the announcement of the air attack Allied in Berlin. “I was born on the same day, a few years later, Ansa is also Capricorn”, smiled by the Prime Minister, focusing in front of a copy of that dispatch, within the offices of the editorial staff, accompanied by the president of the Agency Giulio Anselmi and the director Luigi Contu.
“I came to testify to respect for a very authoritative piece of history of Italian journalism – explained the Prime Minister in a short greeting to journalists in the Newsroom – but also the respect I have, even as a journalist, towards your way of doing journalism, even in a changing world, in which it is increasingly difficult to be fast while maintaining seriousness, trying to verify the news. Because I know how difficult I can be”.
Meloni observed that “in this time journalism can choose to gain readers with the feeling or authority, and it seems to me that the Ansa tries to do it with authority”. Thanking the premier “for the recognition of our role”, Anselmi added that the agency’s goal is “trying to arrive first but without making mistakes, a quadrature of the circle difficult to achieve, a result that we have sought in all these 80 years, and that it serves to all those who feed on”. The ANSA, remarked Contu, “was the first agency to have a computer archive”.
And in the newsletter for the first time the name of Giorgia Meloni appeared on November 25, 1993. A launch, whose framed copy was given to the premier (together with the photo in which for the first time the bell rang at Palazzo Chigi), which gave an account of a city assembly of students in Rome. That day the student organization of the ancestors debuted, mobilized at the time against the Minister of Education Rosse Russo Iervolino. And the then sixteen year old Meloni, a student of the Vespucci Institute, took the floor: “All students organize themselves in a single movement and to the processions, let’s be without any flag or red nor black”. Thirty -two years later she had herself the honor of the click with which she was published on Ansa.it the news of her visit.
