Euronews and Africanews: A New Media Group Serving News Diversity

 
It’s been a year of change for Euronews: a new majority shareholder, a new world headquarters and the arrival of a new sister channel – Africanews.

At MIPTV in Cannes, CEO Michael Peters presented a new group founded on one vision: promoting diversity of viewpoints.
