The first edition of the Verona Journalism Festival, organized by the Heraldo newspaper and the Canoa Club cultural association, was presented at the Antica Dogana di Fiume with war correspondent Toni Capuozzo.
The event, sponsored by the Order of Journalists of Veneto and the University of Verona, aims to address the difficulty of citizens to extricate themselves from the enormous amount of data and information.
The initiative, the organizers declare, “aims to become annual, like other similar reference festivals in the country”.
The Festival will open its doors on Thursday 1 July at 6.30 pm with an evening dedicated to investigative journalism.
The first guests will be Monica Zornetta, freelance for Avvenire and Corriere della Sera, and Pierpaolo Romani of Public Notice.
At 8.30 pm meeting between Paolo Biondani de L’Espresso and Gianni Belloni, journalist and coordinator of the Environment and Legality Observatory of Legambiente Veneto.
On the crowfunding platform Ginger (www.ideaginger.it) it is possible to donate a sum for the project “Let’s Get Information! Support the Verona Journalism Festival ”.
