With over 100 full-time employees and part-time contributors based in Ljubljana, as well as a network of correspondents in major cities across Slovenia and Brussels, New York, Zagreb, Rome, Klagenfurt, Trieste and Gorizia, the STA provides local and international coverage.
The General News Service is a source of information for Slovenian and foreign media, state institutions, diplomatic offices, companies, non-governmental organizations and other users in the Slovene language.
The STA also taps into an international exchange of photographs through its partner agencies (Itar Tass, Xinhua, Beta, Tanjug, HINA, Telam).
The website raises cases of best practice, presents an overview of crisis measures and provides an analysis of the latest economic trends in Slovenia and abroad.
For major events such as Slovenia's EU presidency, Olympic Games, the introduction of the euro and elections, the STA provides a news service with a team of journalists and contributors.
STA is part of the international OTS network, which includes press agencies from Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Ukraine and Slovenia.
The O-STA enables clients to include up to five images, tables or graphs as well as a logotype with a link to their company's website along with the press release, whereby the first picture is already in the price.
It is intended for national as well as regional and local TV stations which want to offer their viewers short information on domestic and international events.
As part of the STA KLUB, a number of round tables, seminars, workshops and lectures featuring guests are held every year.
Events deal with a variety of topics catering to different target audiences, including business officials, media representatives, and cultural and social workers.
