The Origins of the Print Media Crisis
There is an observation - from a few years ago - that is as ironic as it is dramatic, made by a famous journalism studies researcher, that goes more or less like this: to speak of a crisis for print media is an optimistic understatement of reality. In the Italian case, an additional qualification must be made: the print media sector has never had a particularly leading role. The historical causes ...
The Cost of Ignorance
Italy is at the bottom of the rankings in Europe as regards school abandonment. We are fourth from last, with a percentage of 14.5 percent, and still far from reaching the goal of 10 percent set for 2020. The only countries worse than us are Spain, Malta, and Romania.[1] This is not recent news, and like all other news, after having made the headlines of some newspapers for a few days, it then disappeared ...
A Predictable Decline and the Strategy of Newspapers
The crisis of newspapers has generated a broad debate in the world of journalism[1] and academics[2] that revolves around the following questions: will newspapers survive? If so, in what form?

Yet I practically found a desert. There are no definitive studies ...
Cultural Specificity and Quality of Production
The debate on the country-specific nature of management - and thus also on the Italian Way in marketing management, financial management, operations management, and so forth - is controversial.[3] This may be the reason why many structural analyses on Made in Italy production have not been accompanied by a similar number on the "communalities," or at least the invariances, in entrepreneurial and managerial ...
What It Means to Talk about Made in Italy
Much is said about Made in Italy production, but perhaps not enough. Discussions have been ongoing for decades now, referring to aggregate and structural analyses, thus discussing leading sectors (3 F or 4/5 A)[1] and businesses (iconic brands), the structure and dynamics of export markets, the impact on GDP and the contribution to the balance of payments, offshoring and inshoring, and so on. Yet ...
What Cities for Culture, What Culture for Cities of Tomorrow
The goal of this Focus is to reflect on the nature, quality, and value of the relationship between the world of cultural organizations and cities, but also on how these factors, in this strange present, can change to become a virtuous engine of economic-social rebirth.
