Learning outcomes

The course aims to deepen the profiles and problems related to the field of civil liability, with particular regard to business communication (advertising, editorial, journalistic), with an attention to the needs of protection of the user and / or the recipient of this activity (consumer, competitor, "third party" affected), with a view to protecting the expectations of transparency, fair competition and safety. In this perspective, will be surveyed the criteria - subjective and objective - of imputation of civil liability, as well as civil instruments of protection provided by our system, in the case of damaging news.

Course contents

The course intends to study both the profiles of civil responsibility connected to the activity of information (advertising, journalism...), and the relative methods of diffusion, favouring both an approach that enhances the concrete "case" and the attitude assumed by the jurisprudence and by the Authorities (public and/or private) dedicated to the control of "correctness" in "communicating", and the analysis of the system of remedies (compensation and/or inhibition).
