Media partnerships since 2022
Alexander Fanta made this access to documents request to European Committee of the Regions
Dear European Committee of the Regions,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents on any other "media partnerships" similar to those with Spanish news agency EFE since January 2022. This is meant to include any offers sent to media organizations, directly or via intermediaries such as ICF Next, as well as any correspondents with prospective partners in the news media.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta

Dear Transparence - Access to documents,
thank you for acknowledging my request. I wish to clarify my request. You wrote in your acknowledgement that I was seeking information about any "partnership between the CoR and news agencies". My request is meant to cover media partnerships with any news organization, not just new agencies. That is meant to include news agencies, TV and radio stations, newspapers and news websites, as well as any other type of news-reporting outlet.
Also, I wrote "correspondents" where I meant to write "correspondence" in my initial request. I ask to take note of these clarifications.
Yours sincerely,
Alexander Fanta
