Press & media relations

We are convinced that an enlightened democratic society needs verified information in order to make good, fact-based decisions. This requires an independent news agency and independent journalists.

As a joint venture of the German media, the German Press Agency (dpa) is committed to the facts, but to not any political leaning or party, to any government, religion or culture, to any company or any other interest group. This has been guaranteed by dpa’s statute since 1949.

Our products help media, companies, and institutions disentangle and make sense of the world’s complexities. Closely networked with our customers, shareholders and selected partners in the media and communications industry, dpa comes up with initiatives, takes the first steps, connects and organizes topics and opens them up for discussion. In this way, dpa is developing into a marketplace for content, technologies, ideas, and collaboration.
