She will become the first woman, first person of color and first person from outside of the United States to lead the AP in its 175-year history.
Veerasingham said she’s determined to maintain the AP as a source of fact-based, nonpartisan journalism, and to fight for freedom of the press and access to information. The AP produces roughly 2,000 news stories, 3,000 photos and 200 videos every day, reaching more than half the world’s population.“These are values that are core to the AP since its founding 175 years ago,” she said in an interview. “I think that they are actually more important today.
The AP’s board of directors appointed Veerasingham, who has been AP’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, in a meeting last week. Steven R. Swartz, board chairman and president and CEO of Hearst, called her a proven leader with a deep understanding of how AP operates and a clear vision for the future.
AP also makes money by providing studio space and news equipment to organizations, selling news software and election vote-counting and surveys. Further diversification efforts are underway, including offering customized news reports and managing video for auctions held by companies like Sotheby’s, Veerasingham said.
KarenMahabir AP is compromised. They are no longer credible.
Fantastic news, hopefully Daisy will look at making some structural changes in the photojournalism department.
When the entire AP can be fair, balanced and free of commie control...on that day you can disparage Ron DeSantis.
MarkCavitt Great! Will she adhere to journalistic standards of a free and unbiased press, or will your agency’s dissemination of corporatist propaganda continue?
And that means
Ticking a few boxes.
Lol
How woke of you 😂
Swell!
You are basically a tabloid now. She can only make things better.
Did you get the face wrong. Who is this man?
Will SHE investigate, like a good journalist, the Coup that took place in America last fall? There is SO much proof of a coup and who wants their NEWSpaper to be associated with that cover-up? Reputations have been ruined permanently.
