Tatoli

Tatoli functions as the official state-run news agency for East Timor (Timor-Leste), serving as the primary national entity for producing and disseminating news. The agency gathers, verifies, and distributes content across various platforms, covering domestic affairs, government activities, and societal developments. Its core product is timely, accurate journalistic reporting, informing the public and supporting national discourse.

Established on July 27, 2016, Tatoli was founded by the government of East Timor, evolving from the former Timor-Leste News Agency. The name "Tatoli," derived from Tetum, translates to "to entrust information to be passed on," embodying its mission. This establishment formalized the nation’s official news dissemination, providing a consistent, authoritative voice in public communication.

The agency primarily serves East Timor's citizens, alongside international stakeholders and media seeking insights. Tatoli’s long-term vision is to be an indispensable source of information, fostering transparency and informed public engagement. It aims to continuously enhance its reporting, solidifying its role as a credible, accessible news provider.
