Abstract
Description
In this report we assess the state of the matter of the governance and the role of media in the
case of Italian democracy based on deliberative communication. We explain how legal and ethical
regulation, journalistic production, media usage patterns and media literacy influence and
determine the development of democracy. Finally, employing the field theory of Bourdieu, we
describe the Italian media ecosystem in terms of risks and opportunities for deliberative communication,
and, more broadly, deliberative democracy.
