THE JOB
AFP is seeking a digital verification reporter with strong digital investigation and precise writing skills to join its Kuala Lumpur bureau to report on disinformation in Malaysia.
The role is an exciting opportunity to be a part of AFP's fast-growing fact-checking network, which has seen it take a leading role in the global fight against disinformation.
Charles Havas creates Agence Havas as Agence des Feuilles Politiques.
As the world’s first international news agency, it uses a network of correspondents and translators. Trains and homing pigeons bring in the news to Paris from all over France and other European countries.
From 1835 to 1875, the Agence Havas offices are located on rue
Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Paris,
opposite the General Post Office.
The Agency starts to use electrical telegraphs, an invention which enables it to expand.
Soon it is better and faster informed of what is going on in the world.
In response to the Crimean war (1854-1856) it extends its European network all the way to Saint Petersburg and the Bosphorus.
AFP is looking for a dynamic and experienced editor to join its English-language news desk at its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong.
