Association of European News Agencies: Board of Directors renewed
Lola Alvarez, COO der spanischen Nachrichtenagentur EFE, und Clive Marshall, CEO der britischen Agentur Press Association, sind am Freitag in Berlin in den Vorstand der Vereinigung europäischer Nachrichtenagenturen EANA gewählt worden. Sie ersetzen Malte von Trotha (DPA) und Eric Scherrer (AFP).
Representatives of Europe's leading news agencies met in Berlin for the spring conference. At this conference, new members were appointed to the board. The EANA will continue to be chaired by Mika Petterson, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of the Finnish news agency STT-Lehtikuva, as SDA writes in a press release.
Under the title "From supplier to partner", the conference dealt with the question of how news agencies' customer relationships are changing. Agencies today are increasingly offering more than just pure news services. They are also trying to offer cost-effective IT services. For example, they are providing simple solutions for new developments such as tablets. The EANA representatives also discussed the impact of the increasing use of tablets on the news business and the
Possibilities of multimedia reporting.
The alliance comprises 30 agencies, including SDA, AFP (France), APA (Austria), dpa (Germany), PA (UK), EFE (Spain), ANSA (Italy) and ITAR-TASS (Russia). (SDA)
