L'irruzione dell'evento : il caso Macerata nella campagna elettorale italiana del 2018

2020 - Franco Angeli

49-72 p.

  • The main aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between news reports and the development of a public dialogue about immigration during the 2018 political election campaign. The study examines the way in which newspapers covered a series of dramatic events involving immigrants, which took place in the Italian city of Macerata. The «Macerata case» is analyzed in relation to a trend of evolving media practices characterized by increasing sensationalism and the systemic assimilation of «permanent campaigning» into news items, demonstrating that political interference in news stories is not a casual or one-off occurrence.
