Dr D Albertazzi Applications accepted all year round Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

It may cover issues, such as, for example: the links between media, political parties and economic/financial interests; the future of public service broadcasting (RAI) and its role in Italian society; the rising influence of new media on the political process.
