Studio Aperto (lit. Open Studio) is the brand for Italian TV channel of Mediaset network Italia 1's news programmes. Founded by Emilio Fede on 16 January 1991 with the beginning of Gulf War,[1] it's shown domestically on Italia 1. Created by the editors of NewsMediaset, it is directed by Andrea Pucci, as editor-in-chief of NewsMediaset, assisted by Anna Broggiato as co-director.
Italia 1 from 1982 until 1989 did not have television news because it was a channel dedicated to young people. However, from the end of November 1989 Italia 1 Speciale News was broadcast on the channel.
The programme is generally presented by a single newsreader. Most items will be made up of reports and are generally preceded and followed by the correspondent reporting live from the scene of the report.
Studio Aperto has long been accused of promoting right-wing positions, due to the ownership by Silvio Berlusconi.Other critics are about the huge airing of crime news and soft news (gossip, animals and videos from the Web) subtracting time to more important news.
