The Journal of Cultural Heritage Crime

Launched in September 2018, The Journal of Cultural Heritage Crime is an online magazine combining news and feature articles with a targeted social media strategy. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn are essential tools to communicate effectively to a broad public. 

This editorial project is as a new in-depth portal, the first website of the kind in Italy, totally dedicated to the crimes threatening and impacting on our cultural heritage on an everyday basis. The undeniable lack of attention by the national non-specialized press to accurate information about cultural heritage issues has been the main spur urging us to carry out such a project. We strongly felt the need to fill the gap between facts and people.

JCHC is conceived not just as a repository or a showcase for thrilling news, but as an interactive platform which aims to reach out to people, make them aware of the many threats to cultural heritage, and actively involve them in its protection.
