TIRANA, Sept. 30 – Turkey’s state news agency Anadolu Agency has launched an Albanian language service as part of its vision to rank among the world’s most-influential news agencies.
The new service launched this week will report news to its subscribers via its media outlets in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia- Herzegovina, EU, Turkey and the U.S.
With its principles of being “reliable, impartial, ethical and fast”, AA will supply a breath of fresh air to the Albanian media landscape.
Anadolu Agency’s Chairman of the Board and Director-General, Kemal Ozturk, said the news agency aimed to become one of the top five in the world within the framework of its “centennial vision”.
“We already have the necessary infrastructure in the Balkans, and this background will further improve with our Albanian broadcast,” Ozturk said.
The Albanian service, which will conduct news gathering operations as a part of the agency’s Europe Publishing Desk, will widely report on developments in politics, economy, sports and culture in the Balkans and the world.
The inclusion of Albanian will bring the agency’s broadcasting languages to eight, including Turkish, English, Arabic, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS), Russian, Kurdish and French.
