For its establishment cooperated Thessaloniki's Aristotle University, the Municipality of Thessaloniki, the Commerce and Industry Chamber, Thessaloniki's International Trade Fair, the Journalists' Union of Daily Newspapers of Macedonia-Thrace, the Association of Exporters in Northern Greece and the Directors of Thessaloniki's daily newspapers which participated in its first Board of Directors.
Today, Macedonian Press Agency has an office with 5 correspondents in Athens at 44 Vasileos Konstantinou St. while it also has correspondents in Washington, New York, Melbourne, Toronto, Brussels, Sofia, Skopje, Tirana, Bucharest, Moscow.
