Three new partners have joined the
cooperative that owns ANSA, Italy's top news agency.
The new entries take the number of publishers in the cooperative
up to 26. They produce a total of 42 daily newspapers and
periodicals.
The new partners are Il Centro Spa (which publishes Il Centro),
Il Nuovo Manifesto Società Cooperativa Editrice (Il Manifesto)
and Edime - Società Edizioni del Mezzogiorno - Srl (La Gazzetta
del Mezzogiorno).
ANSA President Giulio Anselmi expressed satisfaction at the
news.
"The values of reliability and independence that have always
characterized our news output maintain ANSA's position as a
bulwark against the spread of misinformation and as an
indispensable reference point for the media landscape," Anselmi
said.
"At the same time, these same values determine the appeal of our
cooperative, of which the entry of the new partners is the most
tangible demonstration".
Chief Executive Officer Stefano De Alessandri said it was an
extremely positive development.
"ANSA has continued the positive trend of the last four years in
an international and sector situation characterized by serious
ongoing problems," De Alessandri said.
"On top of the positive balance-sheet results that have been
achieved, the entry of new partners is additional proof of this;
a great demonstration of the confidence that there is in the
solidity of the agency and the quality of its services".
