What Adventist News Network Is / Is Not
What Adventist News Network Is:
Adventist News Network is a news service. It releases a weekly news bulletin (each Tuesday) to some 15,000 subscribers. In between, ANN feeds news to the Adventist Church’s Web site.
ANN speaks to two primary audiences: Adventist Church members and members of the external media.
ANN aims to provide its audiences with accurate, timely news about the global Adventist community.
ANN has a special role in representing the voice of Seventh-day Adventist leaders.
ANN is primarily an online news service, with e-mail and the Internet as the preferred means of distribution.
What Adventist News Network is not:
ANN is not a promotional vehicle that advertises upcoming events.
ANN is not a forum for gratuitously airing controversial issues.
ANN is not the church’s “propaganda machine.”
ANN is not a print publication; it does not seek to replace established church publications, but rather to complement them by providing news stories they can reproduce.
