Elkann and Perrone
->
Genoa – the ability to renew itself without losing touch with tradition is the recurring sign of a cutting-edge newspaper as Il Secolo XIX . With the birth of the first Italian information center thanks to union with La Stampa and the Republic , the newspaper that Ferdinando Maria Perrone took over in 1897 to make an authoritative voice on the national scene is once at the center of the publishing path of the country.
“The group – said the Chairman of Itedi John Elkann talking to the journalists of the nineteenth century and the Press – stems from the desire of families that have a link with the world of ‘ publishing and have no intention of giving up , but instead are determined with this project to make sure that there are all conditions for historical newspapers like Il Secolo XIX , which is linked to the family of Carlo Perrone , Republic and Finegil , which is linked to the family De Benedetti , and La Print, which is linked to my family, to grow up in a world that is respectful of their distinctive identities, giving the possibility to defend their historical values, but opening up a wealth of new opportunities. ”
A further step on the path begun the April 25, 1886 and continued the 31 January 2015 when the nineteenth century went on sale with a new format: the beginning of a synergy in the field with La Stampa, which allowed a strong newspaper with great traditions and local roots still more widen its horizons without loosening the tie that 130 years the It holds together the Liguria and its people. Changes that readers have always shown their appreciation.
And now, with the announced merger yesterday , a new leap forward. “Born a reality with nearly 6 million readers on paper and 2.5 million unique users per day, among the largest in Europe and can offer the broadest and most comprehensive range of content and news reports, in paper form and digital, “he noted that even Elkann, in a letter to employees of Itedi group, explained:” in addition to streamlining the management and editorial activities, will change the international news factory, , creating a group solid media and integrated , like really like Axel Springer in Germany or News Corporation in the United States. Compliance with the values of integrity and editorial independence who led until today our titles will remain unchanged, because they are the same principles that the family De Benedetti follows for almost 40 years in supporting and developing the Group Expressed. On a personal level, I am particularly happy to join our editorial destinies to a head as La Repubblica, the newspaper that my great-uncle Carlo Caracciolo helped found, thanks to the experience he had gained as an editor of L’Espresso: my commitment to the new Group will be the best way to honor and continue what he began in 1976 with passion and enthusiasm. ”
Carlo Caracciolo was bound by deep friendship Carlo Perrone : among other things had become members of Libération , historical head of the French Left. In his letter Elkann did not hide the difficulties in which it moves the publishing industry for years, but giving the new group Espresso-Itedi a key role , “a compelling business project in the media and an act of confidence in the newspapers. His and our mission will not adapt to the new, but on the contrary to drive and if possible to anticipate the changes that will continue to emerge at a relentless pace in our industry: a certainty, this, that makes it so unique, interesting and alive the world of ‘ information”.
