Moscow hosts landmark OANA forum marking 65th anniversary of Asia‑Pacific news agencies body
Moscow is hosting a major media forum to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Organization of Asia‑Pacific News Agencies (OANA), with the 58th Executive Committee meeting convened by Russia’s TASS news agency. OANA — established in 1961 under UNESCO’s initiative — now unites 44 news agencies from 35 countries, accounting for about two‑thirds of the global news flow, exceeding the combined output of AP, Reuters and AFP. Key discussions focus on the organization’s role in countering information attacks and building a multipolar information space in today’s media wars. A major outcome of the forum is the signing of a memorandum of understanding between OANA and the Global Fact‑Checking Network (GFCN) to jointly verify facts and adopt new verification technologies.
