Aneta (news agency) Aneta (news agency) Aneta (, "General News and Telegraph Agency") was a Dutch news agency founded 1 April 1917 by Dominique Willem Berretty. It was the first news agency in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), and a predecessor of the Antara news agency. In 1920, Aneta moved to a new building located on what is now Jalan Antara. The facade of the building was remodeled into a more striking building with a clock tower in 1930. The building still stands but is in poor condition. By 1941 Aneta had become the semi-official news agency of the East Indies government.
