REKTÖR CERAN: ANADOLU AGENCY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS AGENCY IN OUR COUNTRY
Ceran, who made statements to Anadolu Agency Correspondent Berfin Kıraç after the voting, stated that Anadolu Agency is our country's most essential news agency. With more than 100 years of history, Anadolu Agency is the face of our country in terms of receiving news. Ceran said, "The photographs taken by Anadolu Agency, a well-established institution, both raise awareness among citizens and provide an important source for social memory. In 2023, the earthquake and the attacks in Gaza went down in history as painful events. All the frames presented for voting are wonderful frames that have emerged due to great labour. Especially the photographs showing us the human tragedy in Gaza are significant. The massacres in Gaza should not fall off the public agenda. In this sense, I appreciate Anadolu Agency for impartially reporting the events and keeping them on the agenda. The photographs taken for the world to see these realities will be unforgettable for me. I want to thank the management and employees of Anadolu Agency who contributed to the shooting and presentation of the photographs."
