La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno (lit. "Gazette of the South") is an Italian daily newspaper, founded in 1887 in Bari, Italy. It is one of the leading newspapers published in Southern Italy, with most of its readers living in Apulia and Basilicata. La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno suspended its publication temporarily on 1 August 2021 due to financial crisis and court proceedings against its owner, Mario Ciancio Sanfilippo. The newspaper resumed publications on 19 February 2022. Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno was first published on 1 November 1887 in Bari, Italy, by the magazine editor Martino Cassano to fill the niche for a local newspaper in Bari despite Apulia's high rate of illiteracy; it measured at 70% in 1905. Originally published as the Corriere delle Puglie, its current title began to be used by editor Raphael Gorjux on 26 February 1928. More information...
