Ethiopian News Agency
The Ethiopian News Agency ( am, የኢትዮጵያ ዜና አገልግሎት ''Ye-Ityopya Zéna Agelgelot'' (IZA) or ENA) is the official news agency of the Government of Ethiopia. It is the oldest news organization in Ethiopia. IZA's inception dates back to 1942, when a news distribution service was opened as part of the Press Department, which was within the Press and Information Bureau. In 1943 the service became called "Agence Direction" or "Agence Direcsione", and was under the Ministry of Pen (Tsehafi Tae'zaz, in Amharic).

Agence Direction closed in 1947 due to budget constraints in the Ministry of Pen. In 1954 Emperor Haile Selassie was embarking on a world tour and Agence Direction reopen ...
