News agencies are organizations of journalists that supply news reports to various media outlets like newspapers, magazines, radio and television broadcasters. The major news agencies include Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse, which have extensive global networks of correspondents and resources to report news from around the world. While individual media organizations have their own reporting staff, they rely heavily on news agencies for international and foreign news coverage given the agencies' ability to provide near instantaneous distribution of news from anywhere in the world.
The news agencies, also known as wire services, are among the most powerful and trusted names in news business. Some of them like Reuters have been in existence since the nineteenth century.
However, few are aware of their reach or existence. They do not own physical properties such as newspapers or television channels. But they generate news for all forms of media. Their subscribers include newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television networks and now news sites.

News agencies play a crucial role in collecting, writing and distributing reports. These agencies cater to broadcast stations, newspapers and alternative news platforms.
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 the 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???
6. News Wires
• Despite the plethora of news services, most news printed
and broadcast throughout the world each day comes from
only a few major agencies.
• The three largest of which are the Associated Press in the
United States, Reuters in Great Britain, and Agence France -
Presse in France.
• Only these and a few others have the financial resources to
station experienced reporters in all areas of the world
where news develops regularly (in order to ensure access
to well-organized transmission facilities) or to send them
wherever news develops unexpectedly.
• These agencies are also equipped to distribute the service
almost instantaneously.
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
• Reuters covers the main political and economic news
from all the countries it is based in, as well as some
that it isn’t allowed to operate from such as Iraq and
Angola.
• It also covers financial news about the leading
companies of a country, its stock market and its local
currency.
• The rest of its news output consists of coverage of
major sports around the world such as football, tennis
and golf; major disasters ranging from train crashes to
volcanic eruptions; and stories about bizarre events.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
