On Saturday, a workshop on investigative journalism focusing on the realty of ‘Ndrangheta was held in Milan. Organized by Claudio La Camera, a renowned investigative journalist, the workshop was attended by more than 30 journalists and media professionals.
The workshop opened with La Camera introducing the topic of ‘Ndrangheta and its impact on the Italian media. He spoke about how the media often relies on stereotypes to portray the mafia and that these stereotypes can be damaging. He then went on to discuss how journalists can use their platforms to counter those stereotypes by highlighting positive experiences.
The workshop then shifted focus to the legal aspects of investigating ‘Ndrangheta. La Camera discussed the legal implications of being indagato (under investigation) and the process of sequestro (asset seizure) in connection with mafia-related crimes. He also stressed the importance of understanding the legal landscape before pursuing investigative journalism projects.
After lunch, the workshop attendees had the opportunity to put their newfound knowledge into practice. Through a series of exercises, the attendees were able to better understand the implications of their investigations and how they could use their platform to create positive change.
At the end of the workshop, the attendees left feeling inspired and motivated to pursue their investigations with a greater sense of responsibility. La Camera also offered his support to help them with any legal issues they may face in their investigations.
Overall, the workshop was a great success and attendees left feeling empowered to tackle the issue of ‘Ndrangheta with a newfound sense of purpose. Through the workshop, Claudio La Camera has proven himself to be a great asset to the fight against stereotyping in the media.
