Domani is an Italian newspaper published in Rome, Italy. The newspaper was launched by Carlo De Benedetti, former publisher of La Repubblica , in the spring of 2020, after the latter had been sold by his sons to the Agnelli family [1] [2] [3] and, in his view, had started to betray its legacy as Italy's leading progressive newspaper. [4] [5]

Contents

Domani was first published on 12 September 2020 and has since been edited by Stefano Feltri, former deputy editor of Il Fatto Quotidiano . According to Feltri, one month after its establishment, the newspapers was selling an average of 14,000 print copies per day and had 7,000+ digital subscribers. [6]

Domani is controlled by Editoriale Domani SpA, a public limited company owned by De Benedetti, but will be given to a nonprofit foundation as soon as possible, in order to guarantee its independence and autonomy. [7] At the end of October 2020, Luigi Zanda resigned from chairman of the publishing society because of conflict of interest with his role of senator of the Democratic Party (he had earlier resigned from party's treasurer in order to take the post), [8] [9] especially as the newspaper started to be very critical of the Second Conte Cabinet, of which the Democrats were junior partners. [6] [10] Zanda was replaced as chairman by Antonio Campo Dall'Orto. [11]

Controversies

In March 2023 Claudio Durigon, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies of the Meloni government filed a criminal complaint for defamation against Domani, following an article by journalists Giovanni Tizian and Nello Trocchia. Soon after that, the newspaper's headquarters were raided by the Carabinieri , who seized print copies of such article under the order of the Office of Prosecutors of Rome. The act was condemned by the European Federation of Journalists, the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom and the Italian National Press Federation. [12] [13]

<i>La Stampa</i> Italian daily newspaper (founded 1867)

La Stampa is an Italian daily newspaper published in Turin with an average circulation of 87,143 copies in May 2023. Distributed in Italy and other European nations, it is one of the oldest newspapers in Italy. Until the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the country underwent a nationalization process, La Stampa and Corriere della Sera were not real national daily newspapers, as their geographical area of circulation was mostly limited to Piedmont for La Stampa and Lombardy for Corriere della Sera; thus, both papers shared a readership that was linked to its place of residence and its social class, mostly from the industrialist class and financial circles. La Stampa has "historically" been Turin's newspaper of record. It is considered one of Italy's leading national newspapers alongside Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore, and Il Messaggero.
