Overview
- The Asociación del Fútbol Argentino announced on Thursday that it will no longer grant credentials or facility access to Todo Noticias and two radio stations for an indefinite period.
- AFA said the measure responds to the broadcast of an artificial-intelligence video referencing Nicolás Paz and accused the radio outlets of irregular accreditation practices.
- ADEPA issued a formal repudiation saying the sanction affects all TN workers, was adopted without transparent criteria or review mechanisms, and creates an intimidating effect on the press.
- TN journalists have faced repeated access problems this year, including expulsions from a June press conference, denial of entry to an October training, and delays entering a Fan Fest, which critics say shows a pattern of restrictions.
- The dispute intersects with broader coverage of AFA finances and legal pressure on reporters, with ADEPA noting letters from businessman Javier Faroni seeking removal of articles tied to TourProdEnter LLC and U.S. banking records cited in Argentine cases.
