Antenna Group

Antenna Group is a major Greek media company that has recently become newsworthy due to its acquisition of significant Italian media assets. The company is purchasing the newspapers La Repubblica and La Stampa from the Italian media group Gedi, marking a major shift in the Italian media landscape. This acquisition signifies the Agnelli family's exit from the media business after a century of involvement. The sale of La Repubblica to Antenna Group, reportedly for between 100 and 110 million euros, follows the sale of La Stampa to a smaller Italian group. This move is significant because La Repubblica is a historically influential, progressive newspaper and a key opposition voice to the current Italian government. The acquisition by a Greek company raises questions about the future direction and editorial independence of these publications.
