Rule reminder
News reporting language (linguaggio della notizia) is impersonal, factual, and avoids hedging with personal judgment. Opinion writing (commento/editoriale) uses first-person, evaluative adjectives, rhetorical questions, and explicit stance markers. Recognizing these features is key to media literacy and to producing appropriate B2-level Italian.
In news Italian, the passive voice is used more than in spoken Italian. What is its main journalistic function?
