What weight has the attention that newspapers reserve to history books? Today, no one can think that we are dealing with a reporting that lasts just for a morning. In fact, in a world dominated by the media and the need of presence in the public sphere, the choices that newspapers make have an impact not just on determining the success of a book or an author's reputation, but also on directing researchers towards certain issues, and even certain trends that seem most likely to be understood by the public.
To what extent are journalists "fabricating" the cultural pages of the newspapers aware of this? How accountable do they feel for the choices they make?
The Italian-Germanic History Institute of the Bruno Kessler Foundation has called on some editors covering this role in some major Italian newspapers, to discuss with the new generation of historians working at the Isig.
At the conclusion, a round table with the directors of newspapers operating in the Trentino region, with the awareness that they are the main intermediaries who literally "give their account" to the people on the work and the results achieved thanks to the investment that the Trentino region community has made on FBK-Isig.
