| Description | The chairwoman of the Italian public broadcaster, Rai, has resigned.
Lucia Annunziata announced her resignation 30 minutes before the corporation's board meeting in Milan.
Ms Annunziata said she was stepping down in protest at appointments to the company board that she said amounted to an "occupation".
A leading Rai journalist resigned last week, saying the corporation mainly reflected the views of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - a media magnate.
Mr Berlusconi's media empire dominates the Italian press and broadcasting, but he denies that it presents a conflict of interest.
Last week, Italy's parliament approved a controversial media law which, critics say, strengthens Mr Berlusconi's hold over the media. |
