Alongside hundreds of other news organizations, media support associations, and individuals from over 100 countries, AFP has committed to raise awareness about World News Day.

On 19 and 20 September, AFP took part in the annual General Assembly of ADEPA (Asociación de Entidades Periodísticas Argentinas), the influential association of Argentine media, held in Posadas, in the north of the country.

Agence France-Presse (AFP) has appointed Guillaume Meyer as Deputy News Director for Video and Audio.

Meyer, 43, currently holds the position of Global Editor-in-Chief for Video and is the first journalist from the video department to step into this management role. He succeeds Juliette Hollier-Larousse, who has held the position since 2017.

AFP Chairman and CEO, Fabrice Fries, expresses concern in an op-ed in Le Monde about the suspension of fact-checking on Meta's social media platforms.

Agence France-Presse was created in the tumult of World War II by a band of resistance journalists who stormed a pro-Nazi newsroom and took over five days before Paris was liberated.
