Ihlas News Agency

Ihlas Haber Ajansi A.S., known by its abbreviation IHA, is a news agency operating within Ihlas Group. Headquartered at Ihlas Plaza in Bahcelievler, Istanbul, the agency began operating in 1994, and its shares trade on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker IHAAS.

The agency's core business is producing video, text and photo news through a network of reporters in Turkey and abroad, and supplying it for a fee to television channels, newspapers, websites and other institutions. It also offers direct broadcast feeds, media production and news distribution services, and its field network is supported by drones, outside broadcast vans and mobile broadcasting equipment. Gathering, classifying, archiving and distributing news sit at the centre of the agency's business description. The agency also runs a website, iha.com.tr, that publishes current news.

For news agencies, the number of subscribers and subscription prices, media organisations' content budgets, the trend in the digital advertising market and investment in broadcasting equipment are the main variables shaping results. Busy news periods such as elections, large sporting events and extraordinary developments can temporarily lift demand. The IHAAS page on Lzzo.com offers an interactive chart and technical indicators.
