La stampa d'emigrazione come business : giornalisti, editori, affaristi

The essay investigates to what extent the Italian emigration press was not only a means of disseminating ideas, but also a business. The author identifies different types of subjects for which newspapers were a resource (journalists, publishers and financiers of newspapers, businessmen with interests in sectors connected or not to Italian communities) and analyzes in detail some examples, for each of them, mainly relating to the United States and Argentina, the main destinations of Italian emigration to the Americas, and the countries where the Italian press was most flourishing.
