I cambiamenti del giornalismo politico nei media mainstream

di Danilo Boriati *

The paper deals with the changes in political journalism due to the development and the spread of the web. In fact, the use of social-networks (in particular, Facebook and Twitter) has profoundly modified the form of political news, allowing politicians to instantly communicate news and overcome the role usually played by news agencies. The phenomenon of fake-news is also analysed, because they are increasingly used as political weapon and have significantly forced the journalist to adapt his work to the changes.
