In May, editor-in-chief Corrado Mordasini announced that he would close the editorial office if the 2,000 existing subscribers were not joined by another 300 by Christmas. The Diavolo was particularly hard hit by rising distribution costs.
Thanks to the new subscribers, this problem now seems to have been solved, according to a press release issued on Thursday. From January, the newspaper will also be published in a new, more manageable format and with a larger number of pages.
The Lugano-based Il Diavolo regularly takes the piss out of representatives of the political class. They have made a lot of enemies, Mordasini wrote in May. On the other hand, the paper with its "critical, free voice" may have made the odd reader laugh from time to time.
