10 years Agentura da Novitads Rumantscha
In the ten years since its founding, Switzerland's smallest news agency has become a mainstay of the Romance-language press.
The Agentura Novitads Rumantscha (ANR) is celebrating a milestone birthday this week. In the ten years of its existence, Switzerland's smallest news agency has developed into a pillar of the Romansh press. The agency was founded on June 7, 1996 with the aim of supporting the Romansh media. It provides the Romansh newspapers "La Quotidiana", "La Pagina da Surmeir" and "Posta Ladina", the "Engadiner Wochenzeitung" and the Romansh electronic media with daily articles in all Romansh idioms and in Rumantsch Grischun. The ANR services are considered a measure to maintain and promote the fourth national language. The costs of around one million francs per year are borne one third by the canton of Graubünden and two thirds by the federal government.
