Chief editors of Azerbaijan's English language Azernews newspaper Sevil Mikayilova and Trend International News Agency Vagif Sharifov participating in the 67th World News Media Congress, which brought together leaders of the publishing world, met with the representatives of The New York Times.
AzerNews was founded in 1997 and is Azerbaijan's first English language newspaper. Trend is an independent news agency founded in 1995 in Azerbaijan, and a leading provider of news in the South Caucasus and Caspian region.
The New York Times is a US daily newspaper, founded and continuously published in New York City since September 18, 1851, by the New York Times Company.
As the bulk of the US newspapers, The New York Times was created as a regional newspaper. However, the concept of regional media has not prevented it from becoming one of the most influential newspapers in the world.
