2. News Wires
• A news agency is an organization of Journalists established
to supply news reports to news
organizations: newspapers, magazines, radio and television
broadcasters.
• Such an agency may also be referred to as a wire
service, newswire, or news service.
• All mass media depend upon the agencies for the bulk of the
news, even including those few that have extensive news-
gathering resources of their own.

3. News Wires
• News outlets may subscribe to agencies differently. They
may subscribe in full or different segments like sport,
business, entertainment etc.
• Big news groups like Dawn, the News and Business
Recorder etc. have fully subscribed different services.
• Photographs and videos cost additionally.
• Annual full subscription might be around US$ 4k to 5k.
AFP is the cheapest.

4. News Agencies
• Why News Wires when newspapers and channels usually
have their own reporting resources?????????

5. Why News Agencies
• Open any major daily newspaper and you will see that
much of the news, particularly international or ‘foreign’
news, comes from agencies such as Reuters. This is
because most papers only have a handful of journalists
based in countries other than the one they publish
in. Agencies, however, have large networks of
correspondents, photographers and cameramen around
the world.
• International news agencies tend to focus on the major
stories of any country – those that are likely to be of
interest beyond that country’s boundaries. Example???

• Reuters is an international news agency headquartered in Canary Wharf, London,
England, United Kingdom and a division of Thomson Reuters. Until 2008, the Reuters
news agency formed part of an independent company, Reuters Group plc, which was
also a provider of financial market data. Since the acquisition of Reuters Group by the
Thomson Corporation in 2008, the Reuters news agency has been a part of Thomson
Reuters, making up the media division. It transmits news in English, French, Arabic,
Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

• The Reuter agency was established in 1851 by Paul Julius Reuter in Britain at the
London Royal Exchange. Paul Reuter worked at a book-publishing firm in Berlin and
was involved in distributing radical pamphlets at the beginning of the Revolutions in
1848. These publications brought much attention to Reuter. He later developed a
prototype news service in 1849 in which he used electric telegraphy and carrier
pigeons. The Reuter's Telegram Company was later launched. The company initially
covered commercial news, serving banks, brokerage houses, and business firms.

7. Reuters Example
• Reuters is the world largest international news agency,
with over 2400 staff in about 150 different countries. It is
a wholesaler of news – in the form of text stories,
photographs and video footage – to the media industry.
• Clients pay a subscription which entitles them to use
Reuters news stories, pictures or video footage in their
papers, magazines, websites or news bulletins.

8. Reuters Example
• Whatever medium the journalist is working in – text,
pictures or video – he or she needs to check their facts.
• If it’s a text story the journalist will ring the subject of a
story and ask for an official comment. They will probably
ring a few experts to get their opinions.
• Unlike newspapers, agencies never give their spin to a
story, their job is to report the facts and the reaction to
them.
• Both photographers and cameramen also have to check
their facts so they can write the accompanying caption or
script to go with their photos or video footage.

9. Reuters Example
• Before the news is transmitted to clients it is checked by
an editor to ensure the facts are correct and that it doesn’t
conflict with anything already published by the agency on
that story.
• Unlike newspapers there is no need to cut the story or
crop the picture to fit it to a page. The whole story or
complete picture is published to the clients who then
choose how much or how little of it to use.

10. Reuters Example
• Deadlines don’t exist at agencies and they write the story
or produce the pictures or video as soon as they can after
an event.
• Because Reuters is based in so many countries around
the world, there’s a steady stream of news pouring
through 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
