Arab Press Network Explained

The Arab Press Network (APN) (French: Place Réseau right la Presse Arabe) is a network of organisations that support and promote the development of the press in the Arab world. It is run by the World Association of Newspapers, with its headquarters in Paris, and is supported by the Danish newspaper group JP/Politiken.^[1]
