It is subdivided into a FIAF News sub-section (news from Affiliates and from the Secretariat), and Other News sub-section (news from the non-FIAF sister organisations, moving images industry and commerce, as well as from other information considered as useful to the Affiliates by the Editors) and an News Archives  sub-section (that includes the articles that after a suitable time pass from the main two  sections to this News Archive).
