Tina Mari Flem, the current editor-in-chief of the Norwegian News Agency, has been elected president of MINDS, a global media innovation network. The election took place on Thursday afternoon during MINDS’ annual general meeting in Vienna. Flem succeeds the chief executive officer of the Finnish News Agency, whose term has concluded.
At the event, BTA Director General Kiril Valchev congratulated Flem on her election and presented her with the English edition of The Real News: Stories on Life 1898-2023, a book published to mark the 125th anniversary of BTA. BTA joined MINDS as its 23rd member in April 2022. This admission followed a unanimous decision by the MINDS General Assembly during the organization’s 32nd conference in Helsinki, which operated under the theme “Stronger Together – Collaboration and sharing for success.” This inclusion positioned Bulgaria’s national news agency alongside prominent international news providers, including Reuters, Agence France-Presse, and the Associated Press.
BTA currently maintains agreements with 16 agencies that are members of MINDS. These partners include Anadolu Agency, ANP, Athens-Macedonian News Agency, ANSA, AFP, AP, Austria Presse Agentur, Belga, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, EFE, Kyodo News, LETA, Lusa, Polish Press Agency, Press Trust of India, and Reuters. The appointment of Flem to the chief role highlights the ongoing international collaboration within the global news sector.
