Capoderdatore, head of service, editor, qualifications in the journalistic field

A site that makes information is in all respects a newspaper and, as such, must be recorded at the Court of competence. Over the years I have seen a lot of confusion on the topic but today, to be honest, there are very few sites of this type (publication of articles, news, etc.) who have not recorded the newspaper (art. 5 law of 8 February 1948, n. 47).

What are the qualifications of journalists in a newspaper?

The term journalist means a member of theRegister of the order of journalists, list of publicists or professionals. All those who, not being enrolled in the register, claim to be journalists, incur the crime ofabuse of profession.

The abuse of profession is a crime that provides up to six months of imprisonment and a fine ranging from 103 to 516 euros; Often the sanction is a multiple of costs of the "lawful case" to make the violation of the law inconvenient. (Wikipedia)

The tasks of journalists, as contemplated in article 11 of the national journalistic work contract, are in the hierarchical order from below to the above:

• Editor with less than 30 months of professional seniority;
• Editor with over 30 months of professional seniority
• Deputy Farm, expert editor (in the editorial offices where the editorial organization provides for it)
• Head service, senior editor
• Deputy chief editor
• Chief Editor

Other figures must be perfected to this hierarchical structure, such as theresponsible director(At the time of recording the newspaper it must be indicated, obviously it must be a journalist) whose powers are indicated in art. 6 of the journalistic contract and thesent, correspondent, collaborators, etc.

Also the termdraftingit is usedonly for the newspapers.

By drafting we mean the group of journalists who write for a newspaper, but also the site they work in. It is made up of editors and coordinated by the editor -in -chief who, in agreement with the responsible director, pursues the editorial line decided by the editor of the newspaper. (Wikipedia).

By law, the editorial structure must always be indicated. In newspapers it is calledgerenzawhile in periodicals it is usually calledcolophon. They range from the head of the newspaper from a journalistic point of view (responsible director) up to the under the printer address (provider in the case of online newspapers) by passing by the publisher and journalists with the qualifications seen in this space.
