On its 20th anniversary, journalists praise Catalan News Agency as ‘necessary’
Director Marc Colomer stresses "independence," "political plurality," and "neutrality" as ACN’s leading values
Leading journalists in Catalonia have praised the work of the Catalan News Agency (ACN) as "necessary" in the ceremony bringing the celebration of its 20th anniversary to a close.
Founded in 1999, ACN has since developed into a multimedia news agency with 66 journalists reporting from across Catalonia, with delegations in Madrid and Brussels, providing content to dozens of news outlets. It has also created its own news outlet for the English-speaking public: Catalan News.
"We’re committed to continuing our work with the maximum independence and political plurality, the will to project Catalonia abroad, neutrality and rigor," said ACN’s director, Marc Colomer.
