If our country was exactly as the newspapers describe it, Italy would be an even stranger place than it is now believed to be: Italians would be a population of illiterates, an army of people under therapeutic hypnosis, with a surprising percentage of women obsessed by the idea of bedding a referee. Nevertheless these stories, and many others equally fictitious, are passed off as true by titles we ought to be able to trust. With the arrival of the internet, journalists worldwide have had to get used to dealing with readers who can cast doubt on, contest or even contradict their claims. The idea of the web as a hotbed of urban myths is overturned: today the truth behind the news is put to the test, and journalistic falsehoods are almost always the result of errors or carelessness in the traditional media, which has renounced its filtering role and its checking function.
