How we report.
Neutral.
We report what happened and who said it. We don't take sides in Italian politics, and we explain parties and institutions without judging them.
Sourced.
Every hard-news piece names its sources, on the slide and in the caption, so you can check them yourself.
Labelled.
A confirmed fact carries no tag. Anything less than that says so at the top.
Some of our reels use a synthetic voice. When they do, we say so on screen and in the caption. Spotted a mistake? Write to news@theitalydesk.com or message us on Instagram, and we will correct it.
