I am doing a project for a theories of mass com class at Northwestern University. I am proposing an addition to the international communications subject on media imperialism with a deeper discussion of RAI media in Italy. My proposed sources include: theeconomist.com Italy's media: RAI and other wrongs BBC news feb.13 2013 on italian media Matthew Hibbard Google books-conflicts of interest and media pluralism in Italian broadcasting mediapolicy.org Beppe Grillo-Italy living in a 'gigantic truman show' slideshare.net Italy's state television RAI and the need for reform Rai.it for official site including code of ethics Wiki:RAI has a good listing of the extensive holdings which shows their vast influence objectively without official mention of criticisms

I have added to media imperialism where it begins to talk about Italian media ownership problems and a bit about how Italian society regards their media as surveyed and suggestions on how to improve it. I reference mediapolicy.org for this brief discussion. I have included under development communications a discussion of how communications projects in developing countries can empower their citizens and societies. I discuss cases from Nepal, India, Brazil, and South Africa with some more depth in demonstrating their successes in video and community radio. I also highlight the variety and scope of projects and discuss their partners and supporters to show the impact these projects had and continue to create globally as self empowerment tools to aide the developing world.

Great content! You put a lot of thought into this project. Was this topic one that our professor had on the list? I would have like to join you on the research. MComitor (talk) 22:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
