The Askanews news agency and the Italian-American digital daily La Voce di New York renewed their partnership through an agreement signed Wednesday at the Palazzo Mattei di Giove in Rome, headquarters of the Center for American Studies.
As part of the synergy launched on an experimental basis in 2023, the two publications were able to register full consonance in values and operational complementarity, which are the basis for the renewal and expansion of their strategic partnership.
Operational as of Feb. 14, 2024, the new agreement confirms editorial cooperation through the exchange of respective multimedia content, with the aim of ensuring journalistic coverage of major facts and events, from Italy and the United States. The pooling of journalistic experiences expands to the design of a new integrated offering of products and services, in Italian and English, capable of responding to every information and communication need of institutions, businesses and communities, Italian and American.
In addition, the alliance will serve as a media partner for events, projects and initiatives, which contribute to promoting and enhancing relations between Italy and the United States and transatlantic unity.
“With this agreement,” explains Gianni Todini, editor-in-chief of Askanews, “we confirm our ability to engage in international collaborative relationships, bringing together journalistic expertise and multimedia vocation. We are committed to strengthening the transatlantic bond, also in view of the upcoming European and U.S. presidential elections.” “Our union of forces, also aims to develop a new content hub, in the economic and financial sphere, serving markets and business activities, between the two countries,” adds Marco Di Marco, managing director of Askanews.
“This is a strategic agreement,” says Giampaolo Pioli, president and director of VNY Media La Voce di New York, “that aims to develop the offer of editorial content and marketing services for Italian businesses and excellence in the United States. There is a lot of curiosity and attraction for the Italy brand. There is a need to inform about the new, the new generations of big companies, family businesses and start-ups, joint ventures, territories, technologies, e-commerce and the whole topic of green and sustainable.”
