Anselmi confirmed as ANSA president

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 14 - A shareholders meeting of Italy's leading news agency ANSA on Wednesday confirmed former editor-in-chief and former head of publishers group FIEG Giulio Anselmi as president for the three-year period from 2021 to 2024.
    The meeting, chaired by Anselmi, approved the 2020 balance sheet which showed a profit for the third year running, of 390,500 euros.
    The result was due to cost containment and the development of commercial activities which offset a significant contraction in revenue, around 3.2 million euros down on 2019, largely due to the effects of the COVID-19 emergency.
    Genoa-born Anselmi, 76, is a former editor of La Stampa, Il Messaggero and L'Espresso as well as ex-assistant editor of Corriere della Sera and former leader writer for La Repubblica, who served as ANSA editor from 1997 to 1999. (ANSA).
