America Oggi News Agency: A New Hub for Italian-American News and Business
A revitalized media landscape is taking shape with the relaunch of America Oggi as America Oggi News Agency. Building on its foundation as a New Jersey-based daily founded in 1988, and recently acquired by VNY Media Corp. In 2025, the agency aims to become a central source of information for the Italian and Italian-American communities in the United States.
Bridging the Gap: Digital Information for a Transatlantic Community
The new agency, presented to media at 112 East 71st St., Suite 1A, New York NY 10021, will deliver digital news in both Italian and English. This dual-language approach is crucial for reaching a diverse audience, connecting Italian businesses with opportunities in the US, and keeping Italian-Americans informed about developments in Italy.
Synergy with Existing Platforms
America Oggi News Agency won’t operate in isolation. It will operate closely with La Voce di New York and Radio ICN, both part of the VNY Media Corp. Platform. This synergy allows for cross-promotion and a wider reach, creating a comprehensive media ecosystem for the Italian-American community.
Focus on Business, Culture, and Innovation
The agency’s coverage will span a broad range of topics, including business, culture, sports, science, and Italian institutions. A key focus will be on facilitating connections between economic and cultural operators seeking to expand their activities in the US, and Italian investors looking for opportunities in America. Particular attention will be given to startups and the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence.
A Network for Italian-American Associations
America Oggi News Agency intends to serve as a central aggregator of news for the extensive network of Italian-American associations and institutions across the US. This will streamline information dissemination and foster a stronger sense of community. The agency plans to distribute a minimum of 100 news releases weekly, scaling up to 300 by the end of the year.
A Platform for Collaboration and Contribution
According to President/Editor in Chief Giampaolo Pioli, the agency aims to be a dynamic platform open to contributions from readers and industry professionals. By encouraging submissions of events, activities, and projects, America Oggi News Agency hopes to build a comprehensive “observatory” of Italian-American life in the US. The agency will also incorporate video and podcast production into its offerings.
Distribution Strategy: Web, Agencies, and Direct Outreach
The agency will be accessible through a dedicated website and major Italian news agencies. Simultaneously, efforts will be made to strengthen its distribution network throughout North America, reaching media outlets, organizations, and associations.
