Interfax appoints new general director for Interfax-Urals
Interfax Information Services Group has announced the appointment of Mikhail Feigin as general director of Interfax-Urals.
Before the appointment, Feigin led a Reuters branch in Yekaterinburg, supervising the agency's business from the Volga to the Russian Far East.
"Until today, the Interfax-Urals project was managed from Moscow, as long as the agency was in its formative stage," said Mikhail Komissar, chairman of the Interfax Information Services Group. Commenting on the appointment, he noted that "Interfax-Urals has launched various large-scale projects in the region, attracting an increasing number of clients, so all decisions must be made on the scene."
Interfax-Urals news agency will promote its own regional product, a Urals News wire and comprehensive and individual news services that Interfax Group provides for mass media, energy and fuel and metal companies, financial organizations and state agencies.
Interfax-Urals, a project launched in February 2002, is part of a strategic project by the Interfax Information Services Group, which calls for setting up news agencies in every Russian federal district.
Interfax-Urals correspondents operate in Sverdlovsk, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, and Kurgan regions and the Khanty-Mansii and Yamal-Nenets autonomous districts, and cover the activities of over 500 industrial plants, state agencies, companies and banks active in the Urals Federal District.
