Media narratives and activists’ digital practices about climate change in Italy. A multi‑channel analysis

Inserted in the theoretical framework of Media Geography, this work aims at deconstructing media narratives emerging in Italy both from the traditional media ecosystem and social media with a specific focus on a highly debated issue, namely, climate change, to scrutinize to what extent these two media dimensions shape overlapping and/or conflicting narratives on the topic. As a result, the work is organized as follows: first, it analyses the role of old and new media in shaping opinions and perceptions at the individual and collective levels; the third paragraph synthesizes methods and methodological frameworks; the fourth paragraph focuses on the findings of our analysis, while the last paragraphs include discussion and conclusions.
