The article investigates the relationship between media, social networks and migration phenomena in Italy starting from the most controversial case in the last years of chronicle of waves of immigration on the coasts of southern Europe. I refer to the controversial publication of the photo of the Syrian child, Aylan Kurdi published the 2nd of September 2015. That image of lifeless baby, which ended up on the front pages of newspapers around the world, and that is now a faded memory, opened the discussion on the ethical obligations enshrined in the Charter of Treviso (protection of Childs in journalistic activity) and the Charter of Rome (deontological rules in migration correct information), both signed by Italian journalists. After quite ten years the migration narrative remains anchored to the same anxiogenic tone of a permanent emergency, so people's perception of the phenomenon continues to generate fear, racist hatred. The data of the yearly Italian and EU reports on migration representation through the media show that we assist to a deep -rooted perception based on the distortion of reality that marks the victory of the algorithm and reiterates the strong penetration of the disinformation system.

Abstract
The article investigates the relationship between media, social networks and migration phenomena in Italy starting from the most controversial case in the last years of chronicle of waves of immigration on the coasts of southern Europe. I refer to the controversial publication of the photo of the Syrian child, Aylan Kurdi published the 2nd of September 2015. That image of lifeless baby, which ended up on the front pages of newspapers around the world, and that is now a faded memory, opened the discussion on the ethical obligations enshrined in the Charter of Treviso (protection of Childs in journalistic activity) and the Charter of Rome (deontological rules in migration correct information), both signed by Italian journalists. After quite ten years the migration narrative remains anchored to the same anxiogenic tone of a permanent emergency, so people's perception of the phenomenon continues to generate fear, racist hatred. The data of the yearly Italian and EU reports on migration representation through the media show that we assist to a deep -rooted perception based on the distortion of reality that marks the victory of the algorithm and reiterates the strong penetration of the disinformation system.Pubblicazioni consigliate
