The Associated Press (AP):The Associated Press is a news service that provides content of all kinds to thousands of newspapers, radio stations, television networks and web sites. The Associated Press is the most commonly used of all news services.
With bureaus across America and the world, the Associated Press generates articles, photos, graphics and video that is used by newspapers and other resources that pay to subscribe. There are different levels of subscriptions available, as some smaller newspapers might pay only for statewide news and major national news, while larger papers often pay to receive every bit of content the Associated Press puts out.
The Associated Press allows news providers to utilize content from parts of the world they could otherwise never cover. It can also allow them to save money by not sending their own reporters and photographers to major local events. This is usually avoided by larger papers, though, because Associated Press articles and photos are available to readers for free on many web sites.
Large newspapers usually send their own reporters and photographers to major events to ensure they are providing unique content to paying subscribers. Still, as newspapers in particular face the difficulties created by the increase in popularity and content provided by online sources, the Associated Press provides a cost-efficient alternative to actual journalistic manpower. http://www.weebly.com/weebly/main.php
