The Macedonian Press Agency (MPA) was one of the two major news agencies in Greece, the other one being Athens News Agency, before they merged into the Athens News Agency-Macedonian Press Agency (ANA-MPA).
The Macedonian Press Agency offers political, cultural and economic news and information on events taking place in Greece, as well as around the world. Special emphasis is given on issues concerning the Balkans, Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region.
Famous quotes containing the words press and/or agency:
“Whenever [Leonard Bernstein] entered or exited a country he would fill in on his passport form not composer or conductor, but musician. Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lenny’s life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more.... And people wouldn’t let him live his own life. But he created his own career, in his own image.”
—John Mauceri (b. 1945)
“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
