European News Agency Alliance Expels Russia's TASS, Ending Four-Year Suspension
The European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA) voted at its General Assembly in Larnaca, Cyprus, on November 13 to expel Russia's state news agency TASS, ending a suspension that had been in place since February 27, 2022.
The alliance holds that, under Russia's current media regulations, TASS cannot provide unbiased news reporting, which contravenes the alliance's purpose — the same reasoning given when TASS was suspended in 2022. Ukraine's national news agency Ukrinform took part in the assembly, and Ukraine's Foreign Ministry welcomed the decision.
Founded in 1956, EANA has 32 member agencies. In October this year it also set up a committee on disinformation chaired by Ukrinform Director General Serhii Cherevatyi.
