Other renowned Italian journalists and writer who worked for the magazine include Giorgio Bocca, Umberto Eco, Giampaolo Pansa, Enzo Biagi, Michele Serra, Marco Travaglio, Roberto Saviano Naomi Klein and Jeremy Rifkin.
L'espresso has a website with news and blogs. An electronic edition is also available online, but only to subscribers.
The magazine is presently based in Rome, but its business and finance newsroom is in MIlan , now under Carlo De Benedetti's property (also owning the major centre-left newspaper in Italy, La Repubblica). The current editor is Daniela Hamaui.
