Workshop on Digital Media and Anti-Corruption

A three day workshop convened and organized by Alice Mattoni and Valentina Tomadin to discuss how people worldwide employ digital media to counter corruption from the grassroots.

Civil society and social movement organizations are often at the forefront of reducing corruption, increasing integrity, and ensuring good governance.To do so, they increasingly employ digital media, situating them at the center of their collective actions.

Nevertheless, we still know very little about the compelling opportunities and the pressing challenges that digital media pose to people’s attempts to curb corruption.

Which type of resources and expertise is crucial to the development of effective digital media platforms? How do they combine with various types of strategies to curb corruption at the collective level? Also, which are their consequences for activists and, more broadly, the anti-corruption sector? This workshop seeks to answer these questions by presenting in-depth investigations of case studies in Europe, Latin America, North-Africa, and South-Asia.
