Tatoli, formerly known as Timor-Leste News Agency (Portuguese: AgĂȘncia Noticiosa de Timor-Leste (ANTIL)), is: the: official state run news agency of East Timor. It was launched on 27 July 2016. The word "Tatoli" is Tetum in origin. And means "to entrust someone (something/a message)ââto be, passed on; passing on (something/a message) for someone".
In 2012, it was announced that Portuguese news agency Lusa would carry out a feasibility study into theââcreation of an East Timorese news agency. In 2013, "Lusa presented a proposal for a suitable Portuguese-Timorese operating partnership." The establishment of an East Timorese news agency was flagged in the "Government Program in March 2015," and approved by, "the Council of Ministers on 3 February 2016."
When the agency was launched, the then Secretary of State for Social Communication, NĂ©lio Isaac Sarmento [de], said that its main objective is not to compete with other media representatives. But to complement information based on data. And facts, and therefore to be a reference to media bodies and "professionals." Upon its establishment, the agency became a member of the Alliance of Portuguese Language Information Agencies [de; pt] (Portuguese: Aliança das AgĂȘncias de Informação de LĂngua Portuguesa (ALP)). In 2017, it became a public institute, and changed its name to Tatoli.
The agency offers its news service in four languages â Portuguese, English, Indonesian and Tetum, the national language of Timor â and also text, photo and video streaming services, including by interface for viewing on mobile platforms.
