Albanian Telegraphic Agency
Agjencia Telegrafike Shqiptare
Albanian Telegraphic Agency (ATSH) is the only Albanian news agency. Since 1913, ATSH has collected, published and distributed news, images and in-depth analysis in a variety of methods. On November 9, 1954, the Presidium of the People’s Assembly decided to establish the Albanian Telegraphic Agency with Decree No. 1960. By cooperating with an important network of at least 35 international agencies and partners, ATSH distributes information from all over the world. Independence, speed, inclusiveness and reliability are the values that have always inspired its mission. ATSH offers service in Albanian, English and French, which is flexible and modular to respond to the demands of all types of customers. As the oldest news agency in Albania, the archive of ATSH has over 250,000 photos dating back to its establishment, accessible to customers. ATSH has thousands of newsletters in hard copy since 1945, accessible to customers as well. ATA is a full member of major media alliances such as EANA (European Alliance of News Agencies), AMAN (Alliance of Mediterranean News Agencies) and ABNA-SE (Association of Balkan News Agencies – South East Europe).Agjencia Telegrafike Shqiptare
