news agency

Business handling news stories and photographs that are then sold to newspapers and magazines. International agencies include the Associated Press (AP, 1848), Agence France-Presse (AFP, 1944), United Press International (UPI, 1907), and Reuters.

Journalists write and edit their material on a VDT (visual display terminal), then press a button to send it to the agency headquarters. Stories are coded to arrive at the editor's desk in order of priority (such as flash or urgent) for worldwide distribution to individual newspapers. Countries of the developing world dislike the dominance of the agencies, which they accuse of Western bias, and have attempted to start their own system.
