Results of First Half 2004 RCS MediaGroup - Results of first half 2004 RCS MediaGroup: consolidated revenues up by 11.5% (+15.3% on a like for like basis) at € 1,211.5 million (mn). Publishing revenues: +18.7%. Advertising sales: +7.7%. First profit indicators look excellent: Gross operating profit double at € 112.1 mn; EBIT up from 7.6 to 67.6 mn. Earnings before tax and minority interests up by 78.3% at € 51.0 mn. Milan, September 9, 2004 – The Board of Directors of RCS MediaGroup, chaired by Guido Roberto Vitale, met today to approve the results for the first half of 2004. Consolidated sales, up by 11.5%, come in at € 1,211.5 mn, versus the € 1,086.9 in the first half of 2003 (1H 2003) that included revenues of € 36.2 mn from Joseph Abboud which was sold at the beginning of 2004. Looking on a like for like basis the growth came in at 15.3%. All group areas contributed to the growth trend. Add-on products (connected to the group’s publications), which were fully developed in first half 2004 (1H 2004) also contributed to the group’s results for the period, as did the recovery in advertising sales (up 7.7% as compared to the same period in 2003). Gross operating profit doubled, increasing from € 57.8 to € 112.1 mn. EBIT improved by € 60 mn, going from € 7.6 to € 67.6 mn. Earnings before tax and minority interests show an increase of 78.3% coming in at € 51.0 mn as compared to € 28.6 mn at June 30, 2003, after extraordinary charges of € 27,4 mn. Cash flow from operating activities and liquidity resulting from the sale of fashion businesses in the USA compensated for the dividend payments and investments made during the period. Consequently, net debt in the first half comes in at € 189.4 and is largely stable as compared to December 31, 2003 (€ 191.6 mn). The newspaper division shows revenues up by 24,6% as compared to 1H03, mainly due to the positive effect of add-on sales in Italy and Spain and the growth in advertising sales, in particular Spain (+8.4%). Corriere della Sera and Gazzetta dello Sport confirm their leadership with an average daily circulation of 681,000 and 401,000 copies respectively. During the period, the success of the add-on products was consolidated. The first part of the year included the launch of new initiatives – “La Biblioteca del Sapere” (4.2 mn copies) and the “Classici dell’Arte del ‘900” (3.3 mn copies) – as well as the continuation of successful initiatives launched in the second half of 2003 – “Storia d’Italia” and the “Classici dell’Arte”. The solid performance of Unedisa continues in Spain, with revenues up by 29.3%, sustained by the increase in El Mundo’s circulation that is the country’s second most popular newspaper with an average daily circulation of 319,000 copies with an increase of 25,000 copies compared to the same period 2003. The recovery in advertising sales (up by 8.4%), better than the market average, also contributed to this result as did the success of the “Grande Enciclopedia Universal”, that registered average sales per issue (sold along with the daily El Mundo) of about 180,000 copies. The trend in revenues in the magazine division in Italy is stable with a net improvement in EBIT that comes in at € 4.5 mn (€ 1.0 mn at June 30, 2003), thanks to the positive performance of the primary publications, in particular Amica, and the commercial strategy (distribution network and advertising fees). In terms of foreign magazines, following the agreement with partner Burda last June, the group is now present in Germany with just the publications of Verlagsgruppe Milchstrasse and of Max Verlag. The revenues in the books division are up by € 8.6%, coming in at € 309.5 mn (€ 285.1 mn in the same period 2003). This improvement involves all areas and, in particular, the Varia segment that reflects both the increased contribution of initiatives connected with Corriere della Sera and the success in the Italian and French markets of new editions released in the first part of the year. Publications of note include: “La forza della ragione” by Oriana Fallaci (750,000 copies) and “La misteriosa fiamma della regina Loana” by Umberto Eco (300,000 copies). “Tintin et l’Alph Art” by Hergè (288,000 copies), “Savoir Manger” by Cohen (162,000 copies), and “Vivre à quoi ça sert” by Sister Emmanuelle (155,000 copies). Revenues increased by 16.4% over the same period in 2003 in the radio division thanks to an increase of 16.7% in advertising sales along with an increased product offering and the client portfolio for journalistic services. The revenues of advertising division show an overall increase of 10.7% as compared to the first six months of 2003. In terms of advertising house sales, RCS Pubblicità’s revenues show an increase of 6.5%. Particularly noteworthy is the strong performance of advertising sales for Gazzetta dello Sport (+12.2%, thanks to important sporting events that took place during the period) and the radio business (CNRplus +29%; RIN +9%), as are the results related to legal and national commercial advertising sales in Corriere della Sera and the direct management of a portfolio of group’s publications that had been managed by other agents during the same period in 2003. The pre-tax result for the Parent Company comes in at € 16.6 mn (€ 48.5 in the same period 2003) due to the repeal of tax credits on dividends (equal to € 19.6 mn in the same period of 2003) which was compensated for only in part by the increase of dividends and revenues, and charges related to company reorganization. Outlook for the current year RCS MediaGroup The success of the add on products launched at the end of 2003 was confirmed in the first semester and other new initiatives launched have also proven to be quite successful in terms of sales. Important works, sold along with Corriere della Sera, were launched over the course of the past few weeks (“Storia Universale” and the chain “Misteri d’Egitto” by Christian Jacq and the book “Oriana Fallaci intervista Oriana Fallaci”), and others will follow in the coming months in both Italy and Spain even if the excellent performance in the second half of 2003 in this area makes it difficult to project the same growth rates on an annual basis. The group’s advertising sales benefited from a recovery in advertising investments which should continue, even if investors still seem to prefer television. The trend of the first semester, along with the summer sales performance, lead us to forecast results that show significant improvement over those reported in 2003.

  • Oriana Fallaci and the “Clash of Civilizations” Formatted: Font: +Body (Calibri)
    This is a draft version of the article/chapter accepted for publication in Towards a global literature Formatted: Font: +Body (Calibri) = Verso una letteratura globalizzata published by Marcos y Marcos Formatted: Font: +Body (Calibri) Draft version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/31508 Formatted: Font: +Body (Calibri), Italic, Complex Script Font: Italic Formatted: Font: Italic, Complex Script Font: Italic Cannons and Rubberboats Formatted: Font: +Body (Calibri) Oriana Fallaci and the “Clash of Civilizations” Formatted: Font: +Body (Calibri) Francesca Orsini, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK Abstract Written in October 2001 as a “gut reaction” to the attack on the Twin Towers, first as a long article in the daily Il Corriere della Sera and then in book form (in its original shape, twice as long as the article) in December 2001, Oriana Fallaci’s pamphlet La rabbia e l’orgoglio (Anger and Pride) was in its 26th edition when I bought it in September 2004. Its follow-up, La forza della ragione (The Force of Reason), has already sold 800,000 copies since its publication in 2004. In other words, Oriana Fallaci has emerged after 9/11 as the strongest and most vocal Italian representative of the “clash of civilisations” theory. This essay analyses the constitutive elements of her discourse (Italian nationalism, values instead of history and politics, and violent speech conflating Islam, terrorism and immigrants) and tries to understand its appeal and the sources of its authority in Fallaci’s career, in order to outline the specific Italian version of the clash of civilisations “theory”.

  • 130 George Morgan and Scott Poynting (Eds.) with Global Islamophobia, George Morgan and Scott Poynting Present an Edited Volume
    130 book reviews George Morgan and Scott Poynting (eds.) Global Islamophobia: Muslims and Moral Panic in the West. Farnham: Ashgate, 2012; Pp. 256. ISBN978-1-4094-3119-0. With Global Islamophobia, George Morgan and Scott Poynting present an edited volume that sheds light on a variety of anti-Muslim tendencies in differ- ent national and local settings. It departs from the definition that moral panics ebb and flow but typically leave long-standing institutional changes that con- tinue to negatively affect the marginalised and can be triggered by relatively minor and local incidents that come to stand for something much larger. One of the key features of moral panics is the creation of folk devils: individuals or groups of persons who are identified as deviant types posing a major threat to the moral fabric of a society. They are portrayed in highly stereotypical and negative ways, stripped of any favorable or neutral characteristics, demonised and presented as having nothing at all in common with the ‘moral majority’. Furthermore, the legislative and law enforcers “are expected to detect, appre- hend and punish the folk devils” (p. 85) and to secure the code of conduct of the state. This edited volume consists of an introduction, an index and twelve chap- ters. Each chapter presents a local case study of a moral panic that developed around the presence of Muslims: in Australia, the United States and six West European countries (Britain, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Sweden). The contributors draw their case studies from different sources such as media, public policy as well as the misuse of anti-terrorism measures by police forces against demonstrators.

Raccontare la guerra in un mondo che cambia 34 Bibliografia 38 Sitografia 39 Ringraziamenti 40 1 Introduzione A partire dagli anni novanta del secolo scorso, con la guerra del Golfo, la guerra del Kosovo, i conflitti locali in Africa e Asia, l’invasione dell’Afghanistan e quella dell’Iraq, è tornata alla ribalta delle cronache la figura del corrispondente di guerra, mestiere che ha alle spalle centocinquanta anni di storia, l’incarnazione probabilmente più apprezzata del giornalismo romantico in cui il reporter è proiettato in scenari drammatici e tumultuosi e per raccontare gli eventi bellici rischia anche la vita. Il primo corrispondente dal fronte, senza addentrarsi nei meandri della storia, è stato William H. Russell, inviato dal «Times» di Londra a seguire la guerra di Crimea. L’irlandese non avrebbe mai immaginato, partendo per il fronte, che con i suoi vivi racconti avrebbe creato il giornalismo di guerra. La mia tesi parte proprio da questo punto, da quel Russell che sfidando il governo inglese fece pubblicare le sue narrazioni sconvolgendo l’opinione pubblica di un intero paese. Ho preferito, per delimitare un argomento altrimenti assai vasto, compiere la mia ricostruzione storica sull’evoluzione del mestiere del reporter di guerra prendendo come punto di riferimento il nostro paese, l’Italia e, in particolar modo, la prima giornalista italiana scesa su un campo infuocato dalla battaglia, Oriana Fallaci.

  • Anatomia Di Uno Sdegno
    ew a ti c h o n i u k -wa w r o w i c z Università di Zielona Góra Anatomia di uno sdegno ab s t r a c t : Written in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Oriana Fallaci’s pamphlet La rabbia e l’orgoglio has provoked an international discussion, as well as trials on charges of defaming Islam. The journalist, outraged by the incomprehension of both, her position and reality in which terrorism prospers and “Eurabia” is being consolidated more and more, responded to the harsh words of critique with two other pamphlets: La forza della Ragione and Oriana Fallaci intervista sé stessa. L’Apocalisse. Both texts are even richer in examples aimed to demonstrate the Islamic expansion, the “presumed” culture of Muslims, and the myopia of European govern- ments, EU and international structures. Fallaci remained true to herself and her own style — direct, expressive, passionate, often offensive — which, combined with her specific views, has provoked attacks, insults and outrage, as well as a wave of admiration. Only time will show if her concepts were indeed prophetic, or simply xenophobic. ke y w o r d s : Fallaci, Eurabia, Islam, expansion, pamphlet. Dopo la pubblicazione di Insciallah, Oriana Fallaci ha taciuto per un de- cennio. Solo a causa dell’attacco terroristico alle Torri Gemelle l’11 settembre 2001, la giornalista ha interrotto il silenzio scrivendo La rabbia e l’orgoglio per Il Corriere della Sera, siccome “vi sono momenti, nella Vita, in cui tacere diventa una colpa e parlare diventa un obbligo” [RO 13]1.

    Oriana Fallaci La Rabbia e l’Orgoglio Prefazione di Ferruccio de Bortoli Proprietà letteraria riservata © 2001 RCS Rizzoli Libri S.p.A., Milano ISBN 978-88-17-07764-4 Prima edizione Rizzoli 2001 Prima edizione BUR 2009 Prima edizione Best BUR settembre 2014 I testi di Oriana Fallaci pubblicati in Appendice, Eppure con la Francia non sono arrabbiata e l’estratto da Wake up, Occidente, sveglia, sono usciti sul «Corriere della Sera» rispettivamente 1’8 giugno 2002 e il 26 ottobre 2002. Si ringrazia il «Corriere della Sera» per la gentile autorizzazione a riprodurre. Seguici su: Twitter: @BUR_Rizzoli www.bur.eu Facebook: BUR Rizzoli Prefazione di Ferruccio de Bortoli Devo essere sincero. Non so se Oriana avrebbe gradito que- sta mia prefazione. Il nostro è stato un rapporto intenso, tempestoso. Interrotto più volte. E mai ripreso prima della sua morte, purtroppo. Avrei voluto esserle vicino. Non è sta- to possibile. La colpa credo sia mia. E dunque, queste po- che e insignificanti righe cominciano con una confessione maturata in otto lunghi anni. Oriana andava difesa di più. Il suo direttore, si fa per dire, il sottoscritto, ebbe il piccolo merito di convincerla a scrivere, dopo l’Undici Settembre e un silenzio decennale, ma il grande torto di seguire poi le maledette regole del politicamente corretto. «L’Italia si divi- de nel nome di Oriana» titolammo il giorno dopo la pubbli- cazione del suo articolo. Un titolo corretto, ma freddo, di- staccato. Con La Rabbia e l’Orgoglio, l’Italia venne investita da un ciclone di sentimenti. Un pugno nello stomaco alle sue viltà.

  • Oriana Fallaci, the Story of a War Correspondent
    1 Oriana Fallaci, the story of a war correspondent Starting from the nineties of last century, with the war of the Gulf, the war of the Kosovo, the local conflicts in Africa and Asia, the invasion of Afghanistan and that of Iraq, the figure of war correspondent, profession that has to the shoulders one hundred and fifty years of history, the incarnation more appreciated of the romantic journalism in which the reporter is projected in the dramatic and tumultuous sceneries, has returned to the footlights of the chronicles. The aim of my thesis is to give an historical reconstruction of the evolution of the profession of war reporter taking as point of reference our country, Italy and, especially, the first Italian woman journalist gone down on a field burned by the battle, Oriana Fallaci that, with her keenness, tenacity, hulling and writing ability has succeeded in imposing herself in a world until then purely masculine. The journalism of war, understood in its deeper and true sense, consists in the harvest and diffusion of news effected in objective, impartial way and with full intellectual honesty, from professionals of the information that place themselves in a "third" position and that operate in the interest of a public of citizens to which they feel bound by a fiduciary pact. The job of the envoy is that of a globetrotter able to tell thick backstage unpublished of the things that happen. He follows the wars and he directly arrives on the place interested by an event to tell it and to introduce it in all of its details.
