In journalism, news agencies are bodies established to supply news reports to newspapers, magazines, and radio and television broadcasters. They are also known as wire services.
News agencies can be either corporations that sell news (Reuters), cooperatives composed of newspapers that share their articles with each other (AP), or government agencies (especially in Communist countries and other one-party states).
News agencies generally prepare articles that can be used by other news organizations with little or no modification, and then sell them to other news organizations. They provide these articles in bulk electronically through wire services (originally they used telegraphy; today they frequently use the Internet). Corporations, individuals, analysts and intelligence agencies can also subscribe.
