Today Media adds Italian American Herald to roster of publications

Today Media, Wilmington is reviving and publishing the Delaware Valley Italian-American Herald. The premier issue under the Today Media banner will be released June 1. 

The Herald will continue to showcase Italian-American life in the region, including Delaware, Delaware County, Chester County, South Philadelphia, South Jersey, and other areas important to Italian-Americans.

 Formerly bi-weekly, the Italian-American Herald celebrates the heritage and culture of Italian-Americans. The paper was published from May 30, 2013 through Feb. 6, 2014. Today Media will publish the newspaper monthly, beginning with the June issue, slated for distribution next week.

 “June is a very important month in this region for Italian-Americans,” Today Media President, Robert F. Martinelli said.  “There are many festivals, in Delaware and South Jersey in particular, focused around Italian heritage, including the 40^th anniversary of St. Anthony’s Italian Festival in Wilmington, the Delaware County Italian American Heritage Festival and the Feast of our Lady of Mt. Carmel – the longest running Italian Festival in the country – held in Hammonton, N.J.”

Joe Cannavo, editor of the paper under the previous publishers, will continue as editor under Today Media.

 Herald distribution will continue to include special events of interest to Italian-Americans, like St. Anthony’s Italian Festival in Wilmington and the Delaware County Italian American Heritage Festival. The paper will continue to be available at selected locations, and subscriptions will be welcome.
