Valigia Blu

Valigia Blu is an independent Italian digital media outlet dedicated to media criticism, civic education, and public-interest journalism. Founded in 2014 by a group of journalists and communication experts, it was created to promote media literacy, fact-checking, and critical engagement with news in a rapidly changing information landscape. The newsroom focuses on analyzing media coverage, debunking misinformation, investigating public communication strategies, and providing contextual reporting on politics, social issues, and public institutions. Its content includes investigative articles, explanatory features, and editorial analysis aimed at helping readers navigate complex narratives and understand how information shapes civic life. Valigia Blu places strong emphasis on transparency and public engagement. Readers can access resources, participate in fact-checking initiatives, and follow the journalistic process behind investigations. This participatory approach strengthens public understanding of media dynamics and fosters an informed and active citizenry. Supported through donations and memberships, Valigia Blu avoids commercial advertising and political influence, allowing it to focus on rigorous, independent reporting. This funding model enables the platform to maintain editorial independence, produce high-quality media analysis, and equip citizens, educators, and civil society with tools to critically engage with information.
