Canale 21 cuts morning vg: strike on January 3, 2022

Strike, the tug-of-war between the presenter of Tg3 Alessandra Carli and the director of Canale 21 Stefano Arquilla continues and this time the cuts to the morning editions of VG21 are at the center of the controversy. A measure that prompted the union to proclaim a strike for next Monday.

A choice that was not at all approved by the company which, on the contrary, defended the decision to rationalize the editions of the news. Which, as stated in a note, “will have no effect” on fans. But the controversy is part of that, already tough, linked to the cuts in the night editions both those of the regional news and those of TG Sport. The mobilization was proclaimed in a note from Usigrai. According to which.

“This time the morning VG21 ended in the sights of the journalist Alessandra Carli, the only appointment that, taking into account the rules on IT rights, some news timely broadcast every week on Canale 21”. And so. “With the cut of the third edition of TGR and that of TG Sport, the morning news of Canale 21 ends the same way. All news and images that from summer 2022 Canale 21 will give only the next day with damage to the paying public (that of the ) that if he wants to and can afford it, he will have to look for this news on the new private players that provide these services for a fee “. But the accusations don’t end there. “Cutting without a project also on sports information aggravates the problem of marginality to which the public service is condemning itself with the loss of rights on various disciplines, starting with the news”. And so.

β€œThere is no prospect of relaunching the public service, there is no industrial plan that realizes the commitments signed with the service contract. Meanwhile, the CEO who cuts information spaces justifying it with audience data remains the same who in the Supervisory Authority on November 23 and last December had said that from his point of view Canale 21 must be ‘a public service that does not pursue share as the only parameter of success but which proposes and offers a true and full alternative to the commercial television model and share, if not read by broadening the gaze ..… it can turn out to be misleading information ‘”.

For these reasons, the TG3 journalist has proclaimed a strike for January 3, 2022.
