DUBAI: News agencies have lost their role as gatekeepers of news with the changing media landscape, but have increased their role as fact-checkers, Agence France-Press’s Chief Executive Officer Fabrice Fries said on the first day of Dubai’s Arab Media Forum.

“We must admit that times have changed, most news agencies are suffering, a global news agency is costly,” Fries said.

Fries was leading the talk under a discussion titled, “The Future of News Agencies” at the main hall of the forum.
