 PROFILE
Agence France-Presse (AFP), the world's oldest international news agency, transmits millions of words in six languages every day. It covers the news with some 200 photographers, 1,200 correspondents, and 2,000 freelancers around the clock and around the world -- offering text, graphics, and an archive of 7 million photos. The company's AFX-News and AFX-Asia wires cover financial markets. AFP has editing centers in Paris; Washington, DC; Hong Kong; Nicosia, Cyprus; and Montevideo, Uruguay, which serve thousands of broadcasters, publishers, and businesses worldwide. CEO Eric Giuily resigned in 2000 amidst opposition from board members and labor unions to his proposals to raise private capital.
