The essays collected in this volume (ideally
addressed to our European colleagues and
fellow citizens) treat the relationship between
media and politics in Italy through the analysis
of some exemplary cases. The essays deal
with a variety of subjects: television formats,
the counter-informative effectiveness of
blogs, political scandal and gossip on political
leaders, the actual political dimension of
journalism dealing with national or international
events. Although the focus is the
Italian context, the research perspective is
international and our country is considered as
exemplary of a trend involving the late
Western democracies. In this sense, the
Italian case is not intended as a curiosity or
exception, but as a strong indicator of this
trans-national trend, that not only alters the
substance of democracy, but reduces its
strength and puts this same substance at risk.
