WAN, IFRA ‘merge’ into single world-wide news publishing organisation
The World Association of Newspapers and IFRA, the leading international
associations for print and digital news publishing, have merged into a
new organisation, the World Association of Newspapers and News
Publishers (WAN-IFRA). The combined new organisation will represent more than 18,000
publications, 15,000 online sites and over 3000 companies in more than
120 countries. The mission statement of the organisation can be found at
www.wan-ifra.org. The merger, which becomes effective on 1 July, has been approved by the
membership of the two organisations. The new organisation will maintain
the two current headquarters in Paris, France, and Darmstadt, Germany.
The two organisations have been discussing a merger, on and off, for
more than five years, as they have built up several similar products and
services and have an increasing overlap in membership. (WAN)
