The print, before the whole publishing it is in crisis: one repeats it at so much time what by now here one is almost accustomed, but the Italian Federation of the Publishers is worried extremely.

The Fieg has presented to the Chamber of Deputies a study – entitled The print in Italy 2007-2009 – in which there is signalled the disastrous situation in which it pours the sector and as the government has not taken measures adjusted to face the crisis; on the contrary, the executive would be guilty of having worsened the problem.

The recent end of the postal facilities – that it leads to increases very much raised for the costs of the publishing forwarding – arrives in a moment which the question keeps on coming down, while itself intravvede the exit with the tunnel.

There has not still appeared on the horizon a new model of business that could substitute that present, by now dying, and the traditional mistakes of the distribution are, in the today's situation, even heavier: the Fieg accuses in fact the inefficiency of the Posts for the scarce number of daily papers sold in subscription.

So many causes – explains the Fieg – they are leading to the collapse of the publishing system. And to save the saveable one the Federation has in mind a solution: to ask the navigators of Internet for money. chiedere soldi ai navigatori di Internet.

To tax whoever possesses a connection to Internet, would be a measure contenitiva optimal to be able to keep going some years, the time of finding an agreement with the research motors to manage to earn through the newspapers in Net. “The number would be of modest entity, the cost would be of a caffé in the month or down of there”, explains the Melancholy president of Fieg Carlo.

Melancholy it does not foresee, then, that the tax is perennial, but only a temporary contribution to hold in life a sector boccheggiante; a contribution that all the navigators will have to pay, indiscriminatamente.

To justify the own request, Melancholy it is entrusted to a comparison: "On certain services there are general burdens of system that are divided.” – explains the president of the Fieg – “it is thought about the electric bills, where it is paid also for the cost of the plants” without which we would not have electricity; while without the newspapers the Net, nevertheless if poorer, it would keep on existing. mentre senza i giornali la Rete, pur se più povera, continuerebbe a esistere.
