Dear all,

Hereby in attachment my full draft of ​ my third PhD article. It explores journalistic narratives of impartiality at the RAI, the Italian public broadcaster and is based on 15 interviews I conducted last year on site. I am very much open to all types of advice in terms of argument development, academic literature I might have missed/ should engage with as well as the discussion points, so really all is welcome! In terms of analysis, I kept many (long) quotes that I still might cut but that can give you a better idea of the different themes that were discussed in interviews and though could be relevant for my analysis.

So far, I have received feedback from Franz in terms of publication coaching on the draft and it is really not set in stone. It definitely needs more work, and I would have preferred to work on it more, but I have barely been able to develop further it due to a very busy teaching semester (also the reason why I am sending it today as I won’t have time to work on it later this week).

I look forward to venting with all of you about Italian “public" “service" “journalism”.

See you Friday, Michael
