EUROPEAN ALLIANCE OF PRESS AGENCIES

EANA was founded on August 21, 1956 in connection with a conference on new media technology held in Strasbourg. EANA´s founding fathers were West European news agencies, Anadolu Agency (Turkey) and Tanjug (Yugoslavia). In 1970, agencies behind the so called "iron curtain" were invited to join. EANA´s predecessor Agences Alliées was founded in 1924 and was active until the World War II when the activities were discontinued. EANA serves as a forum for cooperation and exchange of information and experiences among European news agencies. EANA´s operations are financed by membership fees.
