Celebrating 15 Years of Il Post: A Journey Through News and Innovation
Fifteen years ago, on April 19, Il Post made its online debut, launching a day ahead of schedule due to the team's remarkable efficiency. As it approaches this significant milestone, the news platform reflects on the undulating path it has traveled since its inception. To mark this anniversary, Il Post introduced a new podcast series titled "15 Years Were Strong," hosted by co-founders Francesco Costa and Luca Sofri, along with Elena Zacchetti. The first episode is now available for streaming on the Il Post website and app, with subsequent episodes set to be released daily until April 30 at 9 AM.
The series aims to celebrate the past, exploring the pivotal moments that shaped Il Post while providing insight into its future. Notable events covered over the years include the attack on Gabrielle Giffords, the Costa Concordia disaster, and the Paris attacks — each shaping the landscape of news reporting and public engagement.
In these 15 years, Il Post has evolved significantly. Decisions like introducing subscription models and launching a daily news roundup have transformed the way they communicate with their audience. The podcast reflects on these changes and serves as a platform to discuss how Il Post continues to strive for a level of journalism that connects with a broad spectrum of readers, enhancing public knowledge and awareness.
Luca Sofri, who founded Il Post, celebrates 15 years at the helm, navigating the platform through various changes in the media landscape. Francesco Costa, a founding member and deputy director since 2016, will take on the role of responsible director as of April 19. Meanwhile, Elena Zacchetti has been an integral part of Il Post, joining when the platform was merely three years old, and has since served in multiple roles, now as the deputy director responsible for daily operations.
As the Il Post team embarks on this reflective journey, they invite their audience to join in celebrating a commitment to informed journalism that has marked their journey thus far and continue to shape their future.
