C.he there is new? He explains it Ilaria D’Amicoat the helm of the new and namesake in-depth program of Rai 2, broadcast tonight at 9.20pm. A bet for the network and also for the presenter, who returns to Rai after several years and faces the second channel of state television for the first time.
What’s newthe program
In the promo, D’Amico briefly anticipates the objective of the format. «Every day ideas are born, stories are born, people are born. And then governments, emergencies, wars are also born, but also hopes and dreams. We tell the changing world. We tell everything new there is“.
The focus is, therefore, the pressing topicality. A look at everyday life, to show, analyze and comment on what is happening in society. What’s new was born from an idea of Alessandro Sortino and aims to give space not only to the main topicwhich takes center stage on TV, in newspapers and on social media, but also on minor issues. Facts or events sometimes less told, equally worthy of attention. Ilaria D’Amico has the task of managing the ranks of the various elements that make up the format, as well as interviewing the guests who alternate in the studio.

Cast and previews of the first episode
TO distinguish What’s new from a common in-depth program is the inclusion of some new elementswhich recall the genre talent show. In every episode the story of current events is dampened by short monologues – entrusted to ordinary people who offer their testimony -, interviews and reports. These contents are submitted to the attention of one jury, made up of four regular guestsin charge of discussing and judging the episode topics.
A kind of “Talent show of ideas”, announces Rai, and who knows if for once the TV will be able to propose a comparison without slipping into the logic of talent. That is dialectical clashes in which voices often overlap and which rarely lead to a solution. Those in charge of the arduous task are Francesco Giubilei, Gerardo Greco, Valentina Petrini and Stefano Zurlothe travel companions of the hostess.
