Télam is the Argentine national news agency founded in 1945. It provides news and information to about 300 subscribers, including government entities and national and international media. It operates as a state enterprise. Télam was established as Telenoticiosa Americana (American Telenews) on April 14, 1945, by an initiative of then Vice President Juan Domingo Perón, with the purpose to compete with US agencies such as United Press International and Associated Press. At its inception it started as a Public-private partnership, in a joint venture between government and private capital. Its first director was Gerónimo Jutronich, who was tasked with forming a team of journalists, some of which came from ANDI, another state agency created in 1944. More information...
