The news gateway to the world

Launched in April 2015 and relying on genuine, impartial reporting of news in real time, A24 covers and delivers informed content to TV channels, broadcasters and online platforms around the globe, enabling them to convey major events and breaking news. As an independent news-gathering agency, A24 leverages innovative technologies and professional teams to bring to local, regional and international viewers an accurate account of political, economic, social, humanitarian and cultural events.

Equally significant to the corporate ethos is the relaying of encouraging news trends that are uplifting to its clients. Consequently, the agency has gained wider audiences in Europe and in Asia, while continuing to serve numerous media platforms including Sky News Arabia, Al Arabiya, NBC, ABC News, CNN, Alhurra, AFP, and Al Jazeera, to name a few.
A24 exclusively and semi-exclusively accesses numerous hotspots, warzones and conflict areas such as Yemen, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, and Syria. Major events that A24 reported on in 2021 involved the withdrawal of the United States troops from Afghanistan, Pope Francis’ visit to Iraq, and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
