List of newspapers in Italy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of newspapers in Italy, ordered according to category/scope and circulation.

The number of daily print newspapers in Italy was 107 in 1950, whereas it was 78 in 1965.[1] It has further declined since and 74 are listed in this article: 21 countrywide newspapers (including some "opinion" or "political" newspapers with very limited circulation, that are available only in Rome and few other places), 50 regional or local newspapers (some of which have a larger circulation than most countrywide ones) and 3 sports newspapers (all three having a much larger circulation on Mondays).[2] The total circulation (both in print and digital) of the 57 newspapers tracked by Accertamenti Diffusione Stampa (ADS) was 1,891,819 in January 2023, down from 2,292,549 for 57 newspapers in January 2020.[3][4] Corriere della Sera, based in Milan, has the largest circulation — more than 250,000 on average —, and has more than 500,000 digital subscribers.[5]

Political parties used to have their own newspapers, most of which have been either disbanded or transformed into online publications. They have included Avanti! (est. 1896, Italian Socialist Party), Il Popolo d'Italia (est. 1914, Italian Socialist Party / National Fascist Party), La Voce Repubblicana (est. 1921, Italian Republican Party), Il Popolo (est. 1923, Italian People's Party / Christian Democracy / Italian People's Party), L'Unità (est. 1924, Italian Communist Party / Democratic Party of the Left / Democrats of the Left / Democratic Party), L'Umanità (est. 1947, Italian Democratic Socialist Party), La Discussione (est. 1952, Christian Democracy), Secolo d'Italia (est. 1952, Italian Social Movement), Liberazione (est. 1991, Communist Refoundation Party), La Padania (est. 1997, Lega Nord) and Europa (est. 2003, Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy / Democratic Party).
