Proposal to limit journalists on Rai pre-election talk shows - Politics. Maria Elena Boschi, a lawmaker for the centrist, opposition Italia Viva (IV) party, on Wednesday presented a proposal to regulate or limit the presence of journalists on State broadcaster Rai's programs.
Boschi told the parliamentary commission overseeing Rai that "the presence of a journalist who takes part in a (televised) debate risks having a similar effect to that of a politician" Giacomo Lasorella, the president of communications authority Agcom, said the evaluation of such appearances would have to be done on a "case-by-case" basis.
