Il ruolo del giornalista
In journalism the black chronicle is the report of events related to deaths or act of violence. We usually consider it as the true narration of a crime, but improperly. In fact journalists have to write lots of things such as the victims, murderess, the circumstance of the death. In addition a good article about crime depends on the ability of the report in telling the events.
