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? If not, what will the consequences be for the sector and for democratic systems?[3] To respond to these questions it is necessary to go back to the middle of the 1990s, when daily newspapers decided to ...
How and Why to Defend our Coolness
“Cool” and “coolness” are by definition evasive and liquid concepts. They change as a function of time, geography, aesthetic canons, and transnational or global subcultures. All of these elements tend to give the perception of what is cool an apparently unpredictable dynamism, and thus for decades now have been the subject of specialist analysis aimed at explaining the fundamental components ...
When Publishers no Longer Believe in Publishing
You had to get in line, twenty years ago, to understand the phenomenon of Repubblica.it. In the fall of 2001, delegations of experts and journalists from Axel Springer, the publisher of the popular Bild and the elite Die Welt newspapers in Germany, plus a long list of regional publications and magazines, came down from Berlin to Rome, armed with notepads. The Parisians of Le Monde also went to Repubblica’s ...
The Triumph of Subjectivity (and of the Smartphone)
I hadn’t realized how difficult it was to write about the historical evolution of the circulation of newspapers. I thought I could trust the enormous attention dedicated to the issue for years and decades; not only in the world of experts on the subject, but a bit in all segments of sociopolitical and mass communication culture. Yet I practically found a desert. There are no definitive studies ...
The Supply and Demand of Uniqueness
The need for differentiation and distinction, that in its extreme version reaches what is known as the “need for uniqueness,”[1] has a well-known psychobiological origin, and in that sense can be considered a natural necessity of the human race. However, there is no question that the basic need to feel or appear different, to distinguish oneself, has emerged with increasing intensity in ...
From the Newspaper to the Newsbrand: The View of Managers
Audipress represents the official, objective, and impartial survey on the reading of daily and periodic press in Italy. It provides data on reading, together with socio-demographic information on the readers for the main Italian journalistic publications (54 newspapers and daily supplements - that represent almost the entirety of what is sold by newsstands in this segment - and 50 periodicals).[1] ...
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 ...
Health Emergencies: The Case of the Papilloma Virus
Of the 311,000 deaths per year due to cervical cancer, 90 percent take place in medium and low-income countries, with a decidedly higher incidence in Africa. The multidimensional nature of services and the ability of management to conceive of integrated solutions and policies is the principal challenge present in Africa to limit the spread of cervical cancer. Investing in therapies and treatment for ...
Euro and African Franc Better Together
The analysis of the macroeconomic costs and benefits of the experience of the African franc is much more complex than what the superficial debate in Italy in recent months suggested. The French government's decision to reduce its role will mean that the African countries will have to choose how to continue relations with the euro. The ECB could have an active role in the relations with the African ...
