Le sfide per la comunicazione del rischio in ambito sanitario
Risk communication has often been understood as an instrument of persuasion, or as a transfer of information from an expert and authoritative source to lacking of scientific expertise individuals. The rise of multiple risk cultures, developed by various social groups and organizations, has made unidirectional communication models obsolete, urging a new approach. Negotiation and an open, bidirectional exchange of information between various actors are at the core of such an idea, with the aim to establish mutual trust between citizens and institutions as well as to build an informed and aware public, enabling it to take best decisions autonomously. The here presented paper mainly considers the Italian case in the framework of risk cultures’ changing scenario, also taking into account the related implications on the way health organizations will confront themselves with new risk communication issues and challenges. The paper also consider the need of a paradigm shift for healthcare risk communication in the light of growing conflicts on health issues, providing some suggestion about possible measures to be undertaken in the Italian contest

Re-assessing the role of communication in the aftermath of a disaster. Case studies and lessons learned
The scope of the chapter is to provide an interpretive hypothesis on the different functions of different media in the aftermath of a disaster, drawing upon theoretical and empirical literature and case-studies in the light of Uses and Gratification perspective. Moving from the way people engage with media and interpersonal source, the chapter addresses disaster communication in the light of both collective needs and its related social functions, considering how people actually interact with communication to cope with disasters. A better understanding of the ways situational constraint, individual motivations, consumption patterns and communication cycles are arranged may improve our understanding of the whole disaster communication process, thus being very helpful to ground effective communication strategies, and to better understand the possible consequences of poor message shaping or use of wrong choices of channels.
The paper will also discuss complementary roles of broadcast media, interactive digital environments and interpersonal channels to inform public discourse on disaster, improving preparedness measures, giving voice to exposed communities and informing both individual and collective decision, as well as mobilizing human and collective resources to foster return to normalcy
