Abstract

Exceptional events as a source of support. The Abbruzzo earthquake between media celebration and political opportunism
The article concerns the earthquake in the Abruzzi studying strategies exploited by both journalists and politicians to use this event as a communicative resource. Starting from the analysis of press and television coverage, authors highlight the different roles played by journalists, government and, overall, by the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, focusing on a paradigmatic event: the delivery of new houses for earthquake victims.
