Baku 2015 today announced a partnership with Azertac that will see the media organisation become the Official News Agency of the Baku 2015 European Games which start on 12 June.
With a team of over 50 journalists photographers and cameramen providing extensive coverage of the Games Azertac will be the single largest Azerbaijani media organisation at Baku 2015. Its text and photographic content will be available in several languages. In addition Azertac will produce a video news stream which will be available in Azerbaijani. All this content will be available via a dedicated Baku 2015 section on the agency’s website.
Azertac will focus its resources on promoting the inaugural European Games to both domestic and international audiences ahead of the Opening Ceremony. This will include weekly features on international and Azerbaijani athletes competing at Baku 2015 as well as editorials promoting local ‘human interest stories’ around the Games.
