The world of journalism mourns Paola Motta, political reporter for Sky Tg24, who has passed away at 57. A highly competent professional, she closely followed the country's institutional affairs since the birth of Sky Italia's all-news channel in 2003. Born in Merano, she began her career at Corriere della Sera as an intern, then became a trainee at L'Informazione during the years of Silvio Berlusconi's descent into the field. She worked for the daily Alto Adige, covering Northeastern politics, before an experience in Berlin and finally landing at Sky Tg24, where she covered crucial moments in Italian politics, including Giorgia Meloni's first day as Prime Minister.
