Athens Macedonian News Agency

The Athens-Macedonian News Agency or AMNA (Αθηναϊκό – Μακεδονικό πρακτορείο ειδήσεων) is Greece’s national news agency, operating as a public entity. Founded in 2008 through the merger of the Athens News Agency and Macedonian Press Agency, AMNA has roots extending back over a century. The Athens News Agency originated as the private Stefanopoli Telegraphic Agency in 1895, with the Greek state assuming its subsidization in 1905, when it acquired its present name under first director Ioannis Parren. The Macedonian Press Agency was founded in Thessaloniki by the state in 1991. The agency is governed by a nine-member board including representatives from journalists’ unions, newspaper owners, universities, and staff. AMNA operates news desks in Brussels, Nicosia, and Berlin, with correspondents across major international cities, serving media outlets in Greece, Cyprus, and the Greek diaspora while collaborating with major international news agencies, including Reuters, AP, and AFP.
