Agence France-Presse

Agence France‑Presse (AFP), founded in 1835 as Havas and reconstituted in 1944 after the Liberation of Paris, is a French international news agency headquartered in Paris that delivers fast, impartial coverage of global events in multiple formats to a worldwide audience. With a network of 2,400 employees in 260 cities across 150 countries and revenue from both commercial activities and French government subsidies, AFP operates independently under a 1957 law that guarantees editorial neutrality. Historically, AFP has evolved through wartime censorship, post‑war expansion, decentralisation of regional centres, and digital innovations to maintain its status as one of the world's most extensive news services.learn more on wikipedia
