The University of Perugia, founded in 1308, is one of the oldest universities in our country. It promotes the path of innovation by offering a wide range of training, international degree courses and post-graduate courses. Its approximately 25,000 students can count on high-level services in the fields of orientation, job placement, sports activities and numerous others which in recent years have contributed to it gaining first place among the large universities in the CENSIS ranking and obtaining the ECTS Label.
Role in the Project
The University of Perugia leads Work Package 7 that looks into how corruption is portrayed in the legacy and social media. We begin by creating an EU media capture risk map. Starting with this map, we examine the effects of capture on corruption coverage, as well as how investigative journalism might contribute to corruption prevention. We also examine social media’s impact on the depiction and social construction of corruption. Social media can either promote anticorruption efforts by involving a diverse range of participants in public discourse, or it can propagate misinformation and increase the political instrumentalization of corruption cases, thereby promoting malevolent actors’ activities.
