Africa Mediata è il dossier realizzato da Amref in collaborazione con i ricercatori dell’Osservatorio di Pavia per analizzare in che modo viene oggi rappresentato in tv, sui giornali e sui social il continente africano.
Come ogni anno il Dossier approfondisce un aspetto speciale. Quest’anno si è parlato di innovazione.
In 2022, the Osservatorio di Pavia began its collaboration with Greenpeace Italy to systematically monitor the coverage of the climate crisis in the Italian media. The study on journalistic coverage of the climate crisis was accompanied by monitoring of the presence of advertising by energy companies, the automotive sector, airlines and cruise lines in 5 newspapers. Finally, during the September 2022 electoral campaign, the analysis took into consideration the visibility of environmental issues in the statements of the main Italian political leaders.
The “Shades of reality” photo contest is underway, an initiative designed to counter anti-black racism and Afro-phobia. The contest is organized as part of the European project CHAMPS – Champions of Human rights And Multipliers countering Afrophobia and Afrophobic Speech by Amref, of which the Osservatorio di Pavia is a partner.
The Osservatorio di Pavia continues its research on the media coverage of the climate crisis for Greenpeace with the analysis of the last quarter of 2022.
The National Network for the Contrast to Hate Speeches and Phenomena, of which the Osservatorio di Pavia is a part, proposes to candidates in the next administrative elections to sign a five-point Vademecum against the use of hate speech hate on the campaign trail.
An analysis of the media narrative of the migratory phenomenon in 2022 by the Carta di Roma Association and the Osservatorio di Pavia.
The Osservatorio di Pavia and Carta di Roma have organized six focus groups and fifteen in-depth interviews to explore the levels of knowledge, awareness and perception on Afrophobia and systemic discrimination against Africans or Afro-descendants in Italy.
The monitoring of the Osservatorio di Pavia for Greenpeace Italy on the visibility of the climate crisis in the Italian media, carries on. This time, the four-month period from 1 May to 31 August 2022 is under observation.
Together with Greenpeace, the Osservatorio di Pavia monitored the speeches of 14 leading figures in the Italian political scene to understand if, in the first two weeks of the election campaign, they talked about environmental issues.
In 2021, the attention to foreign countries in the Italian news grew. 29% of all the news was about abroad, the highest figure recorded in the last decade. Almost 1 in 3 of the news is dedicated to foreign countries, considering both foreign policy news and soft news that originates in third countries.
The Country in Crisis starts with a simple question: in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, could Italy have done better?
