il manifesto

daily newspaper published in Rome. While calling itself "communist" and broadly left-wing, it is not connected to any political party.[7]

History and profile

il manifesto was founded as a monthly review in 1969.

left-wing journalists who engaged in the wave of critical thought and activity on the Italian left in that period. They included Luigi Pintor, Valentino Parlato, Lucio Magri, and Rossana Rossanda.[9] In April 1971, it became a daily.[10]

Although critical of the

Vauro. For several years throughout the 1970s and 2000s, Parlato served as the editor-in-chief of the daily.[11] From 2010 to 2023, its director included Norma Rangeri.[12]

On 21 December 2000, the newspaper's office in Rome was the target of a bomb attack by Andrea Insabato, a

rescue of Sgrena resulted in the shooting of her rescue vehicle by American troops and the killing of an Italian security agent.[14]

Financial problems

By the late 2000s, state aid to media in Italy was dropping and il manifesto began to operate at a loss. It was owned by a

cooperative of journalists until entering legal liquidation in February 2012.[9] Despite this, it continued to publish. The cooperative announced a subscription campaign to buy back the brand,[9] which was successful in July 2016.[15]

Circulation

il manifesto had a circulation of 24,728 copies in 2008,[16][17] 22,140 copies in 2009, and 18,978 copies in 2010.[17] Its circulation fell to 10,516 by 2014.[18]
