<p>The Associated Press and German press agency dpa today announced they will launch an Arabic news wire comprising text stories from both news agencies.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>The news wire, called the Global Arabic News Service, will provide more than 200 Arabic language news stories from AP and dpa each day, from the Middle East, Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. &nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>“AP and dpa have a longstanding and important relationship grounded in a shared commitment to fact-based journalism,” said AP President and CEO Daisy Veerasingham. “This innovative service is an important step toward serving this increasingly influential and growing region with independent, accurate and nonpartisan reporting at an even greater scale.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>“The fact that we are expanding and deepening our long-standing good cooperation with AP with this new service is an important signal for the Arab market,” said dpa CEO Peter Kropsch. “Two leading independent agencies are joining forces to provide a new service that underlines the strengths of both partners: dpa&#8217;s in-depth European perspective and AP&#8217;s proven global reporting.”&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>“With its strong roots in the region and its extensive network of correspondents, dpa is a recognized independent voice in the Arab world,” said dpa Editor-in-Chief Sven Gösmann. “Together with AP, we want to further strengthen this position and expand it journalistically.”&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>The stories available through the Global Arabic News Service will be clearly labeled with the originating news agency.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The service is set to launch Oct. 15.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">About AP</h4> <p>The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting. Founded in 1846, AP today remains the most trusted source of fast, accurate, unbiased news in all formats and the essential provider of the technology and services vital to the news business. More than half the world’s population sees AP journalism every day. Online: <a href="http://www.ap.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.ap.org</a></p> <p></p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">About dpa</h4> <p>The German Press Agency (dpa) was founded in 1949 and is one of the world&#8217;s leading independent news agencies. dpa supplies media groups, companies and organisations with editorial content. This includes texts, photos, videos, graphics, radio reports and other formats. As an internationally active agency, dpa reports in seven languages. Approximately 1,000 journalists work from around 140 locations in Germany and abroad. Around 170 German media companies are dpa shareholders. The dpa editorial team works according to the principles laid down in the dpa statutes: independent of world views, commercial enterprises or governments. The central editorial office, headed by Editor-in-Chief Sven Gösmann, is located in Berlin. The executive board, headed by CEO Peter Kropsch, is based at the company&#8217;s headquarters in Hamburg. The chairman of the supervisory board is Daniel Schöningh (Ippen Media Group, Munich). </p> <p></p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Contact</h4> <p>Lauren Easton <br>Vice President of Corporate Communications <br>The Associated Press <br>212-621-7005 <br><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#533f363220273c3d1332237d3c2134" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="89e5ece8fafde6e7c9e8f9a7e6fbee">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>  <br> <br>Nicole Meir  <br>Media Relations Manager  <br>The Associated Press  <br>212-621-7536  <br><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#751b18101c073514055b1a0712" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c1afaca4a8b381a0b1efaeb3a6">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>     <br> <br>Jens Petersen <br>Head of Corporate Communications <br>German Press Agency dpa <br><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2f5f5d4a5c5c4a5c5b4a43434a6f4b5f4e014c4042" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="35454750464650464150595950755145541b565a58">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>  </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-4 col-lg-3 sidebar" data-dsap> <div class="sidebar__sticky"> <div class="sidebar__inner"> <div class="post-meta"> <p class="author">By <strong>The Associated Press</strong></p> <p class="datetime">OCT. 10, 2024</p> </div> <div class="social-sharer"> <p class="h6">Share</p> <div class="social-sharer__links"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.ap.org/media-center/press-releases/2024/ap-dpa-to-launch-new-arabic-news-service/&t=AP, dpa to launch new Arabic news service " onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href, '', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=300,width=600');return false;" title="Share on Facebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <svg width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><path fill="#000000" d="M504 256C504 119 393 8 256 8S8 119 8 256c0 123.78 90.69 226.38 209.25 245V327.69h-63V256h63v-54.64c0-62.15 37-96.48 93.67-96.48 27.14 0 55.52 4.84 55.52 4.84v61h-31.28c-30.8 0-40.41 19.12-40.41 38.73V256h68.78l-11 71.69h-57.78V501C413.31 482.38 504 379.78 504 256z"/></svg> </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.ap.org/media-center/press-releases/2024/ap-dpa-to-launch-new-arabic-news-service/" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href, '', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=300,width=600');return false;" title="Share on Twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><path d="M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2 487 464H345L233.7 318.6 106.5 464H35.8l164.9-188.5L26.8 48h145.6l100.5 132.9L389.2 48zm-24.8 373.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42l255.3 333.8z"/></svg> </a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.ap.org/media-center/press-releases/2024/ap-dpa-to-launch-new-arabic-news-service/" title="Share on LinkedIn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <svg width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 512"><path fill="#000000" d="M416 32H31.9C14.3 32 0 46.5 0 64.3v383.4C0 465.5 14.3 480 31.9 480H416c17.6 0 32-14.5 32-32.3V64.3c0-17.8-14.4-32.3-32-32.3zM135.4 416H69V202.2h66.5V416zm-33.2-243c-21.3 0-38.5-17.3-38.5-38.5S80.9 96 102.2 96c21.2 0 38.5 17.3 38.5 38.5 0 21.3-17.2 38.5-38.5 38.5zm282.1 243h-66.4V312c0-24.8-.5-56.7-34.5-56.7-34.6 0-39.9 27-39.9 54.9V416h-66.4V202.2h63.7v29.2h.9c8.9-16.8 30.6-34.5 62.9-34.5 67.2 0 79.7 44.3 79.7 101.9V416z"/></svg> </a> </div> </div> <div class="sidebar__service_links"> <p class="title"> Media Center </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.ap.org/media-center/press-releases/">Press Releases</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.ap.org/media-center/ap-in-the-news/">AP in the News</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.ap.org/the-definitive-source/">The Definitive Source</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </article> <section class="related-articles has-background-color has-black-background-color"> <div class="container"> <div class="row heading-row"> <div class="col-12"> <p class="heading">Related articles</p> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4 post-card-container"> <a href="https://www.ap.org/media-center/press-releases/2024/ap-announces-winners-of-2024-oliver-s-gramling-awards/" class="grid-card grid-card__post"> <div class="grid-card__page-image"> <picture alt="AP announces winners of 2024 Oliver S.
