Gad Lerner

Journalist, presenter and essayist

Approaching journalism thanks to the experience of “Lotta continua”, he collaborated with Radio Popolare before joining the editorial staff of L’Espresso where he wrote from 1983 to 1990. In the early nineties he made two programs for Rai dedicated to the northern question: “Profondo Nord” and “Milano, Italia”. Called by Ezio Mauro to “La Stampa” as deputy director in 1993, he will later collaborate as a correspondent and columnist with “Corriere della sera” and “Repubblica”. Back at Rai with two editions of “Pinocchio”, in 2000 he was appointed director of Tg1 but a few months later he resigned. Passed to La7 the following year, directs the news, launches with Giuliano Ferrara “Otto e mezzo”, and for six years now leads “L’Infedele”. He writes for “Repubblica” and the missionary monthly “Nigrizia”. He was a member of the so-called “Committee of 45” which launched – but with his vote against – the regulation of the primary elections of October 14 for the constituent of the Democratic Party. Elected in the College 1 of Milan with the Bindi list, he was among the drafters of the Code of Ethics of the Democratic Party. He was a guest of the Liberevento Cultural Festival in 2021 and 2022 with the book “Noi partigiani. Memorial of the Italian resistance” (Ed. Feltrinelli).
