TOOLS – Journalists in Sarnico
From Friday 8 May 2026 to Sunday 10 May 2026
From Friday, May 8th to Sunday, May 10th, the second edition of “TOOLS. Journalists in Sarnico” will be held in Sarnico, a festival dedicated to investigative journalism and information, focusing on major current affairs issues and the world of media.
For three days, Sarnico will be transformed into a laboratory of ideas and discussion: meetings, panels, debates, and free workshops will focus on the role of investigative journalism in an era marked by wars and new international scenarios, disinformation, the digital revolution, artificial intelligence, and challenges to press freedom.
Journalists, reporters, and experts—from print to television, from the web to podcasts—will take turns sharing investigations, analyses, and tools to understand the complexity of the present.

“How Modern Propaganda Works”
Irene Lo Faro shows how language constructs reality, shapes judgments, and identifies enemies—without people realizing it.
Propaganda doesn’t always shout. It often whispers, hints, or remains silent. In her presentation, Irene Lo Faro—a philosopher of language and scholar of hate speech—shows how the manipulative power of words lies not only in what is said, but above all in what is implied or deliberately omitted.
