AGERPRES (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈad͡ʒerpres]) is the national news agency of Romania.

History

The agency was founded with the name AGERPRES, standing for "Romanian Press Agency" (Romanian: Agenția Română de Presă)

After 1989 the agency changed its name to ROMPRES (to underline the close relations of Romania with France, as an equivalent to Agence France-Presse).

In 2008 the agency changed its name back to AGERPRES.
