Antonio Campo Dall'Orto, ex Mtv and ex La 7, is the new general director of Rai. He unanimously appointed him the new board of directors of the company, chaired for the first time by the new president Monica Maggioni.
The appointment of the general manager thus completes the top management of state television, unfortunately elected with the lottery logic of the old and controversial Gasparri law in the absence of the reform that the obstructionism of the opposition induced Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to postpone to appointments. It now remains to be hoped that the reform does not end up on a dead end.
Certainly the new board of directors, more crowded with journalists than managers, will have to question itself – as the television critic Aldo Grasso recalled this morning in the Corriere della Sera – about what it means to be a public service today, it will have to give itself an editorial line that currently does not exists, establish how to renew information and above all how to renew fiction.
