Woke ideology and political correctness impact media and law

Discussions regarding the influence of 'woke' ideology and political correctness are being examined through the lens of media commentary and legal implications in Italy and the United States.

In Italy, critiques have been leveled against editorial stances, specifically noting the newspaper Il Foglio’s previous support for Kamala Harris and its coverage of Joe Biden’s health. Additionally, legal scholars have pointed to the use of inclusive language in Italian administrative documents, such as the 2021 national protocol on remote work and a 2016 Sardinian regional law requiring gender-neutral terminology, noting that such linguistic shifts may complicate legal interpretations.

In the United States, the impact of ideology is noted in administrative choices, such as the Biden administration’s preference for the Calibri font for its perceived inclusivity compared to the Trump administration’s use of Times New Roman.
