Tanjug receives EANA award

Belgrade, May 31, 2011. (Tanjug) - The European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA) announced Monday that Tanjug General Director Branka Djukic had been awarded the 2011 Award for Excellence in News Quality.

The release states that Djukic managed to modernise and reorganise Tanjug in an impressive way, so the EANA board was unanimous in their decision to award Djukic.

"Ms Branka Djukic and her team have performed an impressive modernisation and reorganisation of Tanjug with a focus on both economic results and creation of editorial multimedia content," says the release.

"It is this significant transformation that the EANA Jury wants to observe as the Jury sees sound economic performance as one of the prerequisites of quality in news reporting."

EANA President Mika Pettersson, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of the Finnish news agency STT Lehtikuva will hand the award at the Annual General Assembly in Geneva next September.

The EANA gathers 27 leading news agencies, including the German DPA, France Presse and others.
