AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Publishing Watch: France’s book market dipped in 2025, with total sales down 0.6% to €2.883bn and new-title releases falling 19.2%, while school textbooks rose 8.2%—a sign of shifting reading habits and tougher conditions for international rights deals. Climate & Culture: Scientists say Europe’s record heatwave was made far more likely and intense by human-caused climate change, with temperatures in parts of France, Germany, Italy and Spain far above seasonal norms. EU Budget Talks: The Cyprus presidency’s draft EU budget proposal would cut 2% overall while nudging up common agricultural and cohesion funding, but major states—including Italy’s Meloni-backed camp—push back over ambition and adequacy. Film-to-Books Buzz: Netflix’s arrival for Julian Schnabel’s “In the Hand of Dante” (based on Nick Tosches’ novel) lands with mixed results, spotlighting a high-stakes literary theft plot around Dante’s “Divine Comedy.” Italy-Adjacent Media: A Reuters Institute report finds trust in news falling across many countries as platforms and AI reshape how people consume news. Microbiome Science: A study in Italy links cohabiting family members with higher oral and gut microbial sharing—useful for understanding health risks tied to shared biology.
