Il mondo dell’informazione è in continua evoluzione. Con il passare degli anni, grazie anche all’avvento di nuove tecnologie, sono state messe in atto strategie innovative per cercare di migliorare il modo di fare comunicazione e offrire al pubblico ciò di cui ha bisogno. Nel mercato dell’informazione sono apparsi nuovi protagonisti che hanno saputo interpretare il cambiamento e comprendere la trasformazione digitale che sta prendendo piede. I media tradizionali sembrano essere rimasti indietro, procedendo a piccoli passi in un mondo che oggi, invece, scorre velocemente. Alcune realtà, che per anni sono state le principali referenti in tema di diffusione di notizie, hanno accolto in ritardo questa trasformazione e si sono così trovate a dover fare i conti con attori nativi digitali più attenti al funzionamento di Internet, all’interpretazione dei dati e, di conseguenza, più connessi e vicini alle necessità dell’audience. D’altro canto, però, questi nuovi protagonisti, pur avendo un’offerta in grado di accogliere i bisogni ed essere in linea con le esigenze del target, non sono ancora riusciti a conquistarsi la piena fiducia da parte dei consumatori. I media tradizionali godono ancora di una reputazione più alta, questa condizione è dovuta alla naturale tendenza del nostro paese ad affidarsi a brand già consolidati. Non c’è una corrispondenza finita tra un sistema informativo che soddisfi il target e che, allo stesso tempo, sia pienamente affidabile. Questo elaborato di tesi va ad indagare quali sono le cause e le motivazioni che hanno spinto i consumatori di notizie a migrare verso un’informazione prettamente online, analizzando le caratteristiche e le novità che questa offre e, d’altra parte, quali sono le problematiche e le preoccupazioni che spingono le persone a non avere una considerazione di Internet al pari di quella riservata ai media tradizionali. L’obiettivo del progetto dell’elaborato di tesi è dunque quello di definire un sistema informativo capace di avvicinare e includere i nuovi consumatori digitali e le loro abitudini, non trattandosi però di un sistema ex novo (che avrebbe la necessità di consolidarsi nel sentimento comune) ma piuttosto di un’evoluzione, un riposizionamento, un rinnovamento di un’entità a cui le persone già si affidano.

Abstract
The information industry is constantly evolving. Over the years, thanks to the development of new technologies, innovative strategies have been implemented, in order to improve communication methods and meet the needs of the audience. Recently, new players have arisen in the information market, which have been able to interpret changes and understand the digital transformation that has been making inroads. Conversely, traditional media seem not to keep the pace with the fast-moving environment, proceeding one step at a time. On the one side, some of the former leading means of communication have adapted too late to this transformation. Therefore, they had to face digital native competitors which have been capable of focusing on the Internet and on data analysis, leading to a better understanding of the demands and a strong connection with the audience. On the other side, these emerging actors have still not succeeded in winning the entire trust of consumers, even though their offer perfectly aligns with their target’s needs. As a matter of fact, traditional media keep having a better reputation, due to Italians’ natural inclination of relying on long-established brands. Indeed, there is no demonstrable correspondence between a target-focused information tool and the fact that it is completely reliable at the same time. This dissertation aims to examine the causes and reasons which led news consumers to migrate towards a purely online information, focusing on the characteristics and innovations of the latter. Furthermore, the audience’s concerns towards the reliability of digital media, compared to traditional media, will be also analysed. Hence, the objective of this thesis is to define a system of information able to include and approach new digital consumers and their habits. Nonetheless, this system was not created from scratch, thus it does not need to be embraced by public opinion; on the contrary, it is mostly an evolution, a repositioning, and a renewal of a common trustworthy entity.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
