Di cosa parlano i tg quando parlano di loro? I minori hanno un effettivo diritto di parola, per i fatti che li riguardano, o sono gli adulti a parlare per loro? In sintesi: qual è la cultura condivisa dell’infanzia e dell’adolescenza che viene veicolata dai media? E ancora: quale ruolo hanno gli organismi di garanzia, in tali processi? Sono domande a cui, nel saggio, si proverà a rispondere attraverso l’analisi delle rappresentazioni mediali della minore età diffuse dalle emittenti televisive del Veneto.

We pursue this inquiry by analysing the varying representations of the under-aged, disseminated by local TV channels in the Veneto Region. We discuss the ways in which the television stations portray the under-aged, the presence and the role of children and adolescents in the local news and broadcasting, the status accredited to them and their role in the narrations that relate to them. We pursue this inquiry by analysing the varying representations of the under-aged, disseminated by local TV channels in the Veneto Region. The research was conducted within a Convention among the Regional Committee for Communications (Co.Re.Com.) of the Veneto region and the Interdepartmental Centre of Research on the North-East ‘Giorgio Lago’ of the University of Padua. In greater detail, we monitored the local news and the programmes transmitted during the restricted time-slot scheduling (reserved for minors, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.) of 7 regional TV stations during the week of Monday 24th February to Sunday 2nd March 2014.

In the wake of previous studies (Crespi, 2002; Belotti, 2005; Riva, 2007), we’ll illustrate the outcomes of research, conducted in collaboration with the Regional Committee for Communications (Co.Re.Com.) of the Veneto Italian Region, about the forms of childhood representation disseminated by local TV channels in the Veneto Region, that examined a total number of 218 news programmes and 2548 news items, transmitted by seven local television channels during one week (from the 28th of February to the 6th of March 2011), from which we selected a total number of 260 news items containing some form of representation of childhood or adolescence, subsequently processed to conten...

This research regards the fruition, by the youth audience, of the cinematographic product titled Breaking Dawn, Part 2, the last episode of the literary and film saga Twilight. The investigation was divided into two phases: the first phase consisted in 10 participant observation sessions during movie showings; the second phase consisted of 20 in-depth interviews with young men and women from 16 to 25 years old. The analysis focuses on some crucial issues of the relationship between young people and media products, such as emotional involvement while watching a movie, identification processes with the main characters, and gender differences in fruition. As a result, the research shows that seeing the movie led to the majority of the interviewees being involved in an eminently social dimensi...
