San Marino. Death of Simone and Giada, Lonfernini: “Means of information act with rigor and respect”
Following the tragic accident in Viserba, which cost the lives of 18-year-old Simone De Luigi and 16-year-old Giada Penserini, the Secretary of State for Information, Teodoro Lonferini, wanted to appeal to the Repqubblica’s media, inviting the “sensitivity and respect “.
“The recent dramatic events involving Simone De Luigi And Giada Penserini, snatched from the love of family and friends in the past few hours, they have deeply shaken and grieved our entire community, including myself.
By means of these few lines I wish to represent my full closeness and my sincere affection to the families of Simone and Giada, San Marino is all gathering around you in this sad moment.
However, I have a desirable obligation, in my capacity as Secretary of State for Information, that the press organs, all and always, act by demonstrating the highest attention and the most severe rigor from those who have the difficult task of generating information. . I urge them, in compliance with the ethics to which they are called and the deontological codes to which they must unconditionally comply for the exercise of the profession, to always verify the total punctuality and safety of their sources and the real validity of the information before giving it legitimate dissemination. If this is not interpreted, or in the future this is not interpreted, the consequences could happen, as in other cases, serious and unacceptable for those who experience direct involvement and the fact.
I want to clarify that mine does not want to be an exhortation to someone or something that represents information but an objective call to human sensitivity that I know is present in all those who carry out an extremely difficult task such as documenting a fact. of tragic news “.
