3 7 North Willow Street, Suite 7 Montclair, NJ mail@italiantribune.com ince 1931, The Italian Tribune has been the largest and most influential Italian American weekly newspaper in the United States. Published in English, the paper is primarily subscriptionbased and is mailed across the country every Thursday with a second class periodical U.S. Postal Service mail permit. Due to the increasing demand for the newspaper, The Italian Tribune can now be found on newsstands and in Italian specialty stores throughout the New York metropolitan area. In 1999, former New Jersey State Assemblyman A.J. Buddy Fortunato assumed the role of Publisher with the retirement of former White House Press Corps photographer Ace Alagna, who served as Publisher for nearly 30 years. Joan Alagna continues in her role as the paper s Managing Editor, a position she has held since Since 2006, Marion Alagna Fortunato has directed the Editorial Staff. The Italian Tribune is cherished by its readers as a connection to the heart of the Italian American community, as well as to the land of their ancestors. The newspaper presents a wide variety of interesting topics each week, combining the best qualities of a local publication (such as human interest stories, the popular Social Events page, and a weekly calendar of events) with the most exciting elements of major newspapers and magazines (including features on the arts, politics, health issues, sports, travel, fashion, and more). Favorite weekly columns include an editorial piece by the Publisher, the musings of comedian Uncle Floyd Vivino, and Italian language lessons. Of course, The Italian Tribune focuses on current events of interest to the Italian American community. Included are profiles on prominent Italians and Italian Americans; features on concerts, book signings, lectures and other special events; plus pieces on Italian history and articles on Italian cities, museums, and other cultural sites. In keeping with the continuing effort to keep in touch with our Italian roots, we publish heritage photographs and other items featuring the Italian Americans who helped to build America. The paper also reports news from many Italian American civic, service, and social organizations located throughout the country. While providing a link between several generations of Italian Americans, The Italian Tribune promotes modern thinking and progress while maintaining the Old World values and ideals that are the fabric of our community s collective being. Above all, the newspaper serves as an essential informational and educational resource for all those who share our passion for Italian culture and heritage.
