The Federation of Arab News Agencies (FANA), a branch of the Arab League, is a membership organization for Arabic-language, national news agencies, currently of 18 or 19 members[2] and established in 1975 in Beirut, Lebanon.[3][4]

Mission

FANA's mission is to promote cooperation among its members and around the world.[4]

FANA reflects development of similar regional groups including the Alliance of Mediterranean News Agencies (AMAN), the European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA), the and the Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA).[5]

History

Efforts to form a union of Arab national news agencies started on October 28, 1964, in Cairo, Egypt, and resulted in a conference in Amman, Jordan, in 1965.[2][4] In January 1974, the League of Arab States ("Arab League") called for a second conference, held in Baghdad, Iraq, in April 1974.[2][4] During a third conference in Beirut in 1975, the Federation of Arab News Agencies formed and made Beirut its headquarters, whose founding members came from Jordan, Tunisia, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, and Yemen.[2][4][6]

Organization

FANA holds an annual General Assembly every November, while general managers of its national news agency members meet semi-annually.[2] FANA held the 49th Conference of its General Assembly in Abu Dhab in November 2022 with the participation of the 14 news agencies' directors or their representatives.[7]
