In 2009 Australia’s leading Italian-language
newspaper II
Globo marks
50 years of publication. II Globo began
in Melbourne as a weekly broadsheet on 4 November 1959 under the leadership of
Tarcisio Valmorbida and Ubaldo Larobina. At the time, few expected the paper to
have the longevity it has so far achieved. II Globo has
been at the forefront of the heights and the challenges of Italian post-war
migration to Australia, often through Nino Randazzo’s editorial commentary.
More than a newspaper, II Globo has
been viewed as a leading community institution making its presence felt on
Italian related issues.
‘… This fascinating and varied study traces [II Globo’s] progress and
especially the role played in it by Nino Randazzo. … This is a really important
and interesting study. Hardly anyone has looked at the non-English press in the
past or at the ways in which Australian
political alignments arise in immigrant situations.’
- Prof. James Jupp AM, Director of the Centre for Immigration and Multicultural
Studies at the Australian National University (Foreword)
