Hyderabad: SNAPS India, a Hyderabad-based news and photo agency, was accorded a membership in the European Journalists Network (EJN), headquartered in Finland. The achievement was the first by any contemporary Indian agency and its photojournalists have won laurels for their contributions in covering the news.
EJN acts as the Finnish arm of the Association of European Journalists, an independent, multinational association that defends freedom of information and the press in Europe. The Indian agency will cover news of interest to Asia and the sub-continent on behalf of EJN, whose membership has till date been restricted to European media personnel.
"We will be establishing an office in Helsinki and start operations by the year-end. I thank all board members of the network and especially the efforts of president, Abdulamir Khatib, and Secretary, Nurer Zaman Bhuiyan, which paved the way for Snaps India going onboard the acclaimed European Journalists Network (EJN)," said Mohammad Shamsuddin, Editor, Snaps India.
