The rebellion of the reporters of Report against Rai: the historical journalists with Ranucci.The Italian public broadcaster RAI has sparked controversy by replacing veteran journalist Sigfrido Ranucci as host of the investigative program 'Report' with two newer journalists, Giulia Presutti and Daniele Piervincenzi. This decision has led to a strong backlash from the show’s long-standing team of reporters, who have announced their intention to resign en masse if RAI does not reverse its decision. The journalists argue that RAI ignored them during the process, revealing the new hosts through external agencies rather than directly informing them. They claim the choice of new hosts fails to represent the historical values and investigative integrity of 'Report'. The team had previously sent letters to RAI requesting continuity and support for Ranucci, but were disregarded. The resignation threat comes amid accusations that RAI aims to undermine the show's legacy under a perceived political directive.

Rai's offer-provocation to Ranucci knocked out by Report:Sigfrido Ranucci, former host of the Italian TV program 'Report,' has been offered three new positions within Rai, including a prestigious role at the Cairo bureau, after being removed from his position following controversy involving his associate Valer Lavitola, who was implicated in an investigation into an October 2025 attack on a journalist’s home. The move comes amid criticism of Ranucci by both public and private powers, which he has long been critical of through his investigative journalism. Ranucci now has 30 days to decide whether to accept the offer, after which Rai will make a final decision independently. His lawyer has criticized the move as an attempt to silence a victim of an attack and to undermine public broadcasting independence.

Report, FDI moves the attack to Europe on the eve of the Ranucci stop.Fratelli d'Italia (FdI), led by Giorgia Meloni, has shifted its criticism towards the European Union ahead of the anticipated removal of Sigfrido Ranucci from his role as host of Rai's investigative journalism program 'Report'. The party sent a letter to the European Commission, arguing that 'Report' under Ranucci's leadership has been biased and politically motivated, particularly after Ranucci's friend Valter Lavitola was arrested for allegedly orchestrating an attack on Ranucci's car last October. In the letter, FdI claims that 'Report' has disproportionately focused on criticizing FdI and its leader, violating principles of impartiality outlined in the upcoming European Media Freedom Act (EMFA). However, this move risks backfiring, as the EMFA explicitly prohibits interference in media editorial policies and aims to protect journalistic independence.
