Abstract
This paper carries out an analysis of the attitude of the press regarding the Red Brigades terrorist threat and the subsequent opportunity to restrict flow of information concerning the group. The terrorist group the Red Brigades used to claim responsibility for their violent actions after each attack. Over time, that information coming from a terrorist group made mass media question the morality of continuing to publish texts written by terrorists. The discussion was extremely heated on two occasions, when the Red Brigades kidnapped, on one hand, the Christian Democracy President, Aldo Moro, who was killed, and on the other hand, judge Giovanni D'Urso, who was released one month later.
