About the conference
Often taken for granted, the assumption that populism and freedom of expression are antagonistic is undoubtedly more complex than it appears, and it seems appropriate to examine it. Two questions in particular seem to stand out and will be the focus of the conference: on the one hand, the mutual relationship between populism and traditional media, and on the other, what might be called the new communicational drivers of international populism, which will be analyzed through a number of case studies.
