Television - Italian Style
Until recently there were subjects that the Italians on their television dared not discuss-now things have changed radically. Italian television, for 20 years a mouthpiece of the Christian Democratic Party, has been reformed and thrown into the arena of political turmoil and social crisis. Topics like abortion, the Mafia, police violence, the Communist Party, were seldom if ever mentioned; now they're openly debated and if that doesn't satisfy the viewer, there are now also over 100 pirate television stations pumping out political comment as well as entertainment.
Richard Kershaw in Rome reports on the new' found freedom of Italian television.
