editThe first publishing activity of former RAI, the URI (Unione radiofonica italiana), was the issuing of the weekly journalRadio Orarioin January 1925, with the schedules of the radio programmes of the broadcaster including the ones of other European stations.[1]Radio OrariobecameRadiocorrierein 1930 andRadiocorriere TVin 1954.[1][2]
On 15 September 1949, theEdizioni Radio Italiana(ERI) was founded inTurinby RAI.[1][2][3]in order to unite and valorize the publishing activity of the public broadcaster. On 31 July 1954 capital was distributed between RAI (30%) andIRI(30%).[3]
During fifties and sixties, ERI published the seriesClasse Unica(in pocket format) and journalsL'Approdo letterarioandL'Approdo Musicale,based on the homonymous cultural radio programs.[4]
In 1969, ERI issued the first edition of theDizionario d'ortografia e di pronunzia,a dictionary oforthographyandorthoepyof theItalian language.
