Negli ultimi decenni, il giornalismo ha vissuto una trasformazione radicale guidata dall’impatto delle tecnologie digitali e dall’emergere di nuovi modelli comunicativi. Questa tesi esplora il cambiamento dei paradigmi dell’informazione con un focus sul caso di Will Media, un progetto editoriale nato nel 2020 e rivolto in particolare a un pubblico giovane. Dopo un’analisi storica dell’evoluzione del giornalismo italiano, dalla stampa tradizionale all’avvento del web e dei social media, la ricerca si concentra su fenomeni come il citizen journalism, il social media journalism e un confronto tra le forme di giornalismo tradizionali e quelle contemporanee. La parte empirica della tesi approfondisce il caso Will Media, soffermandosi sulla struttura aziendale, il linguaggio adottato, il ruolo della community e l’approccio alla verifica delle notizie. L’indagine si conclude con una riflessione su come realtà emergenti come Will Media stiano ridefinendo i modi di produrre e consumare informazione nell’ambiente digitale contemporaneo.

Abstract
In recent decades, journalism has undergone a radical transformation driven by the impact of digital technologies and the emergence of new communication models. This thesis explores the shifting paradigms of information, with a focus on the case of Will Media, a media project launched in 2020 and aimed primarily at a young audience. Following a historical analysis of the evolution of Italian journalism, from traditional print to the rise of the web and social media, the research examines phenomena such as citizen journalism, social media journalism, and contrasts between traditional and contemporary forms of journalism. The empirical section delves into the case of Will Media, focusing on its organizational structure, the language it employs, the role of its community, and its approach to fact-checking. The study concludes with a reflection on how emerging outlets like Will Media are redefining the ways news is produced and consumed in today’s digital environment.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
