On June 7, the News Agency Info-Prim Neo (IPN) celebrates 10 years of life. It reached this age together with and owing to its subscribers and readers. Without you, dear Partners, IPN would have disappeared or degenerated, as another about 10 news agencies that disappeared or degenerated during these ten years.
In the period, IPN had and continues to have the most qualified consumers of information in the world. You are so not only because you choose to pay for, use and inform yourselves namely from the news items of IPN, in a so complex and always changing world of information, but because you know to skillfully maneuver between the veritable offers of information that is useful in life and the poisoning ‘information’ that is expanding and becoming more invading.
“We existed and grew together in these 10 years because we had to cope with the qualified demand for information from your, our Partners. That’s why we praise you so much and thank you so sincerely. We are proud to have the most relevant press with national and local coverage of Moldova and even all the local audiovisual press among our subscribers. We enjoy the confidence of the largest part of the representative offices of international organizations working in Chisinau, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the EU Delegation, the Representative Office of the Council of Europe, the OSCE Mission, a series of UN agencies etc. and of a large part of the EU embassies and the embassies of the U.S., China and Japan in Moldova, and this makes us be wide-awake while doing our job.
We also care about our cooperation with many nongovernmental organizations of Moldova, with their renowned representatives and with common platforms that bring together many of these. The relationship with the central public authorities that are our clients requires special responsibility from us. At this stage, we do not have political parties among our subscribers and we cannot yet say if this is good or bad or if we should be worried because of this…
IPN has lived through the not at all easy, but interesting work of its current team of qualified professionals. IPN also lives through those many colleagues who finished the Agency’s ‘school’ and now manage distinct ‘classes’ and ‘schools’ in the Moldovan journalism themselves. We owe special deference to the colleagues from the former Municipal Agency Info-Prim, together with whom we had worked for another seven years, before starting the count of IPN, especially to those who are no longer among us.
We have passed together through growth and turmoil. We also had to choose between things that should not be the subject of a choice in this profession and in this life, including between swiftness and veracity, between the need to make a desperate cry heard and the presence of the second source, between balance and the variety of messages contained in the media products of the brand IPN, etc.
But we always took into account this society’s need, at the current development stage, for media platforms by which to exercise the right to free expression, and the need of the Moldovan media to be free or not to be at all.
The team of IPN
