Télam or Telenoticiosa Americana was an Argentine government-run national news agency founded in April 1945 by then-Secretary of Labor Juan Perón during the presidency of Edelmiro Julián Farrell. The service was suspended in March 2024 by the government of President Javier Milei, who announced during a speech to Congress that he would close what he called “a Kirchnerist propaganda agency.” At the time of suspension, Télam had approximately 700 employees and provided news and information to about 300 subscribers, including government entities and national and international media. Milei’s administration cited losses of AR$20 billion (approximately US$23 million) as justification for the decision to shutter the agency. In July 2024, Télam was officially dissolved and renamed “Agencia de Publicidad del Estado S.A” — or “State Advertising S.A.”
