Ordine dei giornalisti del Lazio

What Ordine dei giornalisti del Lazio does

The Ordine dei Giornalisti del Lazio is a statutory professional regulatory body established under Italian Law 69/1963 and headquartered in Rome at Piazza della Torretta, 36. Affiliated with the national Consiglio Nazionale dell'Ordine dei Giornalisti (CNOG), it serves as the exclusive territorial regulator for journalists operating in the Lazio region, maintaining the official public register (Albo) of professional and publicist journalists, administering mandatory continuing education, and exercising disciplinary jurisdiction through its Consiglio di Disciplina.

Its core operational platforms include the Albo dei Giornalisti (online professional register with public disciplinary annotations), the Piattaforma Formazione (training management platform at formazionegiornalisti.it), a certified email (PEC) service delivered through a convention with Aruba PEC S.p.A., a reserved member portal (Area Riservata), the Consiglio di Disciplina workflow, a pareri di congruità (professional appropriateness opinion) service for freelance rate validation, and a Whistleblowing platform operated under the WhistleblowingPA project (Transparency International Italia). Technology integrations are limited to administrative plumbing: pagoPA for fee collection, Aruba PEC for certified mail, and WhistleblowingIT for internal reporting. No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or advanced technology stack is disclosed.

The organization is funded exclusively through annual membership fees (quote) paid by approximately 18,181 registered journalists — 7,448 professionisti and 10,733 pubblicisti — collected via the pagoPA platform. As a public-law entity, it does not engage in commercial marketing or revenue diversification; its services are mandated by statute rather than marketed. The operating model is governance-oriented: an elected Council led by President Guido D'Ubaldo (in office since November 2021, reconfirmed March 2025) sets policy, while operational headcount of ~39 staff executes registry maintenance, training delivery, and disciplinary administration.
