France 24 reported that Italy has the highest number of journalists under police protection in Europe.
Journalism in Italy is described as a profession particularly vulnerable to threats and intimidation, prompting increased security measures for reporters.
Despite these challenges, the European Union's initiatives to safeguard press freedom are progressing slowly, according to France 24.
The situation highlights ongoing concerns about the safety of journalists in Italy and the need for more effective protective measures at the European level.
