ORDINE GIORNALISTI PIEMONTE

What ORDINE GIORNALISTI PIEMONTE does

Ordine dei Giornalisti del Piemonte (ODG Piemonte) is the regional professional regulatory body for journalists in Piedmont, Italy, established by Law 69/1963 and operating under the national Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti. It maintains the official Albo (registry) of approximately 1,280 journalists (440 professional and 840 publicist), administers state certification exams, enforces the deontological code through the Consiglio di Disciplina, and issues Press Cards. Its core products include the Albo registry, the Tessera Professionale (currently being upgraded to a multifunctional electronic card with anti-counterfeiting features), the formazionegiornalisti.it continuing education platform, the SkyVote-based electronic voting system for council elections (authenticated via SPID or CIE), and the Casa dei Giornalisti communication portal operated via Mailchimp. Supporting infrastructure includes a Whistleblowing platform (OpenBlow) and, since 2026, the Master in Giornalismo Contemporaneo (MaGIC) degree program delivered via Microsoft Teams in partnership with external universities.

The organization operates as a non-profit professional association funded almost exclusively by annual membership fees set by the regional council. The 2026 standard fee is €110 (paid by January 31) or €120 thereafter, with reduced rates of €65 for pensioners over 67 and for low-income members (ISEE up to €10,000); €50 of each professional fee is remitted to the national council. Training courses remain free for members, and the 2024 budget closed with a surplus of approximately €14,000. Go-to-market is membership enrollment and certification, delivered via the website, the physical Palazzo Ceriana-Mayneri office in Turin, and a network of institutional partnerships (Casa dei Giornalisti, Casagit, INPGI, Ordine dei Medici, University of Turin, Università per Stranieri di Perugia, Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato). The 10-member elected Council (2025-2028) governs the body without compensation, alongside a separately appointed Disciplinary Council and Board of Auditors.

Sister organization under the national Ordine.

Operates in the neighboring region under the same national framework.
• Ordine dei Giornalisti del Lazio: Regional journalists' order covering Rome and Lazio, with the same statutory functions as ODG Piemonte (professional registration, exam administration, ethical oversight, continuing education). Rome hosts the largest concentration of national media, making this one of the highest-volume regional orders.
• Ordine dei Giornalisti della Campania: Large southern Italian regional journalists' order with the same statutory mandate and service model as ODG Piemonte — Albo registry, professional exams, ethical oversight, continuing education — under the Law 69/1963 framework.
• Ordine dei Giornalisti del Veneto: Another regional journalists' order in northern Italy with identical mandate, fee structure, and products (Albo, training, press cards, disciplinary council) to ODG Piemonte. Same legal framework under Law 69/1963.

Others

Adjacent ecosystem participant providing retirement benefits to the same professional population ODG certifies.
• Federazione Nazionale Stampa Italiana (FNSI): The national trade union for Italian journalists, co-located with ODG Piemonte at Palazzo Ceriana-Mayneri via the Associazione Stampa Subalpina. Complementary rather than competitive: FNSI represents journalists' labor interests while ODG regulates the profession — together they form the full institutional stack.

Broad incumbents

• Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti: The national council of Italian journalists, established by Law 69/1963 — the same statutory framework that creates ODG Piemonte. It administers national professional exams, sets deontological codes, and coordinates policy across all regional orders, including collecting €50 of each regional member's fee. It is the umbrella body under which ODG Piemonte operates.
