The Zambia News Agency was born in 1969 out of a need to have
development activities taking place around the country reflected
to the Zambian Public. The organisation was to service the local
media as subscribers and fill in the gap left by the commercially-inclined
and urban concentrated media.
The
agency is the only mainstream media organisation providing
the widest possible professional news coverage through a well
trained cadre of journalists stationed in regional and district
offices. The majority of these regional offices are in rural
Zambia where 70 per cent of the country's population is concentrated.
Guided
by nothing else but professionalism, ZANA provides credible
news to the Zambian public through its clients who include
the national radio and television station, the Zambia National
Broadcasting Corporation; the Times of Zambia and the Zambia
Daily Mail.
ZANA
also reflects the world to Zambians through its long-standing
relationships with world news agencies like Reuters; Xinhua
(New China News Agency); and the DPA (German News Agency):
and the continental agency PANAPRESS.
We
provide news and in-depth articles from an African perspective
to the Zambian public abroad and the international community
by Internet and through PANAPRESS, which has established offices
in the USA and Europe. The agency also co-operates with the
Southern African regional news agencies like the Mozambican
News Agency (AIM) and the Southern African Broadcasting Association
(SABA).
The
headquarters of the agency is in Lusaka while regional offices
are at Kabwe (Central Province): Ndola (Copperbelt Province):
Mansa (Luapula Province): Kasama (Northern Province): Chipata
(Eastern Province); Livingstone (Southern Province); Mongu
(Western Province) and Solwezi (North-Western Province)
Our
Web-Site, through various links shows the prominent features
in these regions in which our reporters carry out their reporting
activities in such fields as tourism, business, science and
technology, agriculture, sport, environment, culture and gender.
With
modern Information Communication Technology, ZANA is capable
of packaging quality client-tailored articles on any subject
in English and provides information on past events in its
archives.
