Preferred term

Havas  

Definition

  • Havas was the world's first news agency, and after a century of operation, formed the core of the present Agence France-Presse. Origins Charles-Lewis Havas (1783–1858), a Frenchman of Hungarian background, began to develop an informal network of European reporters (today they would be called stringers) in 1825 to report about European financial and political events for French businesses, banks, and a few newspapers.
