The building of a national agency in the convulsive age of the Internet

Acaba de sortir el número 8 de la revista Catalan International View de la Fundació CATmón, que edita Víctor Terradellas [bloc i Facebook] i dirigeix Francesc de Dalmases [Facebook]. Aquest número conté un article que els amics Terradellas i De Dalmases em van demanar sobre el paper de les agències de notícies en l'era d'Internet i en especial sobre l'Agència Catalana de Notícies (ACN), coincidint amb la posada en servei de la Catalan News Agency i del bloc d'opinió plural Catalan Views. L'article The building of a national agency in the convulsive age of the Internet el trobareu en aquest pdf. Aquest és el resum inicial del meu article: 

"For some ten years, Oliver Boyd-Barrett, the world-renowned expert on news agencies, has not published a single work on their role in the current era of global communications. This year, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the Catalan News Agency, Professor Boyd-Barrett has coordinated the volume News Agencies in the Turbulent Era of the Internet, which consists of thirteen chapters dedicated to agencies around the world. One of them focuses on the ACN, entitled The Agència Catalana de Notícies: Tenth Anniversary of an Innovative Model. The circumstances of our agency are truly unique, since it is one of the few European news agencies to be born in the age of the Internet (1999) and which takes such an innovative approach: teleworking, multimedia, decentralisation and territoriality."
