OVERVIEW
Since
1931, the Italian Tribune, has been one of
the country’s largest and most influential Italian American weekly
newspapers. While the vast
majority of our readers are in the Northeast, the paper, published every
Thursday is mailed across the United States with a second
class periodical USPS mail permit.
In addition, the newspaper, which is printed in English, can be
found on more than 5,000 newsstands in the New York metropolitan area.
Former
New Jersey State Assemblyman A. J. “Buddy” Fortunato has assumed the
role of publisher with the retirement of former White House Press Corps
photographer Ace Alagna, who served as publisher for nearly thirty
years. Joan Alagna
continues in her role as the paper’s managing editor, a position she
has held since 1973.
The
Italian Tribune is cherished by its readers as a link to the
members of the Italian American community and the heritage of their
ancestors. Each week the Italian
Tribune offers its readers a wide variety of interesting reading
material. The paper
combines the best qualities of a hometown weekly (human interest
stories, anniversaries, birthdays) with the most popular features of
major newspapers or magazines (book, movie, television, restaurant,
music, and stage reviews; politics; health issues; sports; travel;
fashion; art; classifieds; memoriams; obituaries).
Of
course, the Italian Tribune focuses on current events and
happenings of interest to the Italian American community.
Included articles on Italian and Italian American entertainers
and politicians, as well as features on Italian history and articles on
Italian cities, museums, and other attractions.
Also, in an effort to keep in touch with our Italian roots, we
publish old photographs and stories featuring the Italian Americans who
helped to build America.
While
we include many articles about Italy, the paper is specifically aimed at
the Italian American community. To
that end, we include news and events from many Italian American social
organizations and service groups.
Finally,
in an effort to maintain the cohesion of our community, the Italian
Tribune sponsors one of the nation’s largest Christopher Columbus
celebrations. In the past,
this festive occasion has allowed us to honor such noted celebrities as
Joe DiMaggio, Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Connie Francis, Tommy Lasorda,
and Joe Pesci. Our annual
Columbus Gala also affords an opportunity to recognize the contributions
of valuable members of the Italian American community.
While
providing a link between the Italian American generations of the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Italian Tribune
promotes modern thinking in combination with “Old Country” values
and ideals. To this end, we
have created the Italian Tribune Web Site – a resource for all
things of interest to the Italian American community.
Although the site is already a pioneer among Italian American web
sites, we welcome comments and suggestions as we continue to upgrade and
update the content and information to reflect our changing culture.
We
publish weekly, in the English language. A yearly subscription to the
paper is only $35. For more
