Beginning next year, the LaPresse news agency will be able to distribute a large part of AFP's production over the entire Italian territory. Those products include several wires with text stories translated into Italian, including economic and financial news as well as coverage of the EU.
LaPresse will also provide some of its customers with AFP's news and photo archives service, the recipient of many prizes, as well as videos, in Italian, chosen within the constantly growing AFPTV output. Priority will go to content related to Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East.
Finally, LaPresse will also be able to redistribute AFP's live worldwide video service. LaPresse will also be able to provide support for AFP's multimedia coverage of Italy.
We are proud to be able to collaborate with AFP in Italy and to be able to distribute its content, LaPresse President Marco Durante stated. We are convinced that this agreement, in addition to consolidating LaPresse's international profile, will be able to contribute to an increase in the two agencies' sales to our mutual benefit, he added.
Christine Buhagiar, AFP's Europe Director, hailed the agreement with a major player in the Italian media landscape, as active in the media domain as in the corporate news and sports fields, two sectors also at the heart of AFP's development strategy.
