With a few exceptions, 🇮🇹 media are bad at covering the #climatecrisis. @Alessandraves delves into the reasons. Hint: economic interests, overproduction of news, low media literacy, wrong balance between stakeholders. Feat. @annatoniolo5. Via @TheFixMedia thefix.media/2024/11/18/how-…

🇮🇹 Another weekend of extreme weather events in October spotlighted how Italian media fails climate coverage, @Alessandraves writes in a new article for The Fix. She looks into how the state of Italy’s media business explains the problem. thefix.media/2024/11/18/how-…

What nobody tells you about the #freelance writing life is the waiting - waiting for replies to pitches, waiting for edits, writing for publication, waiting for payments, waiting for inspiration (or dread, whichever kicks in earlier). Oh, so much waiting.

Italian sports journalism faces a crisis of respect and outdated practices, @AlessandraVes writes for The Fix. Economic pressures and algorithmic demands fuel sensationalism and sexism. We look at what needs to change and who’s driving reforms. thefix.media/2024/8/22/gener…

I gruppi anti-scelta hanno introdotto ragioni pseudoscientifiche per condannare aborto e contraccezione, parlando ad esempio di rischi per la salute. Come spiego nel mio ultimo articolo per Valigia Blu, non vi è però alcuna base scientifica in ciò che dicono.
"Il concepimento, il feto e la nascita di una vita", "Le conseguenze fisiche e mentali dell’aborto sulle donne", "I costi", "La contraccezione". Le argomentazioni dei gruppi anti-scelta non hanno alcuna base scientifica | @Alessandraves valigiablu.it/gruppi-anti-sc… via @valigiablu
