The Observer's demise underscores insecurity in the branch
The UK's oldest Sunday newspaper The Observer, which was founded in London in 1791, is facing the threat of closure. The Italian daily Corriere della Sera comments: "Whatever the outcome ... this is about an important piece of quality journalism that is disappearing and thus highlighting the insecurity of the entire branch. … The Observer is one of the 'institutions' of the British Sunday. It was the first newspaper to be dedicated in 1791 to coverage that was 'Unbiased by Prejudice - Uninfluenced by Party...Whose Principal is Independence,' as its founder W.S. Bourne wrote at the time. A mandate … that has been defended for over 200 years. … Today The Observer is read by the moderate Left. … But it is respected by all and everyone is impressed by its courage to battle on all fronts in keeping with the motto 'We belong to no party'. It has survived the political storms. For 218 years it has informed and explained, but in times of crisis it has become very difficult to stay above water."

Awkward questions
Chinese journalists in Beijing are questioning the Communist Party of China's "official truth", the Italian daily Corriere della Sera reports: "At the State Council's press conference, two journalists from the China Daily and Sichuan Daily newspapers asked awkward questions: firstly, why houses, hospitals and schools but not government building collapsed. Secondly, a rumour is circulating that the province's earthquake authorities predicted the disaster but the alarm was not raised for fear of destroying the euphoria in the run-up to the Olympic Games. ... What is the truth? New information channels must be opened."
