Communication in the non-profit sector goes beyond the mere transmission of information; it entails a profound ethical responsibility toward language, the relationship with the audience, and the recipients. Building on this awareness, the thesis presents a comparative analysis of the strategic communication of two major Italian NGOs: Emergency and Doctors with Africa CUAMM.

The aim of the research is to investigate how the two organizations communicate their mission and identity through digital channels, and which elements of their communication contribute to building public trust.

La comunicazione nel settore non profit non si limita alla trasmissione di informazioni, ma implica una profonda responsabilità etica nei confronti del linguaggio, della relazione con il pubblico e dei destinatari. A partire da questa consapevolezza, la tesi propone un’analisi comparativa della comunicazione strategica di due importanti ONG italiane: Emergency e Medici con l’Africa CUAMM. Entrambe operano nel campo della salute globale, ma adottano stili comunicativi significativamente diversi: più diretto e professionale nel caso di Emergency; più comunitario e rassicurante per CUAMM. L’obiettivo della ricerca è indagare come le due organizzazioni comunicano la propria missione e identità sui canali digitali, e quali elementi della loro comunicazione contribuiscano alla costruzione di fiducia nel pubblico. Attraverso il confronto tra Emergency e CUAMM, la tesi intende offrire una riflessione critica sul ruolo della comunicazione nel terzo settore, mettendo in luce strategie, scelte linguistiche e narrative, e la loro capacità di veicolare valori, identità e relazioni etiche.

Abstract
Communication in the non-profit sector goes beyond the mere transmission of information; it entails a profound ethical responsibility toward language, the relationship with the audience, and the recipients. Building on this awareness, the thesis presents a comparative analysis of the strategic communication of two major Italian NGOs: Emergency and Doctors with Africa CUAMM. Both operate in the field of global health, yet they adopt significantly different communication styles: more direct and professional in the case of Emergency, and more community-oriented and reassuring in the case of CUAMM. The aim of the research is to investigate how the two organizations communicate their mission and identity through digital channels, and which elements of their communication contribute to building public trust. By comparing Emergency and CUAMM, the thesis seeks to offer a critical reflection on the role of communication in the third sector, highlighting strategies, linguistic and narrative choices, and their ability to convey values, identity, and ethical relationships.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
