news agencies

News agencies are organizations that gather and distribute news to various media outlets, such as newspapers, television stations, and online platforms. They collect information from reporters around the world, verify facts, and then publish news stories, images, and videos. These agencies play a crucial role in the media ecosystem by providing timely and accurate information, helping news organizations fill their coverage needs. Well-known examples include the Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and Agence France-Presse (AFP). By centralizing news collection, agencies ensure that smaller outlets can access important stories, even if they don't have their own reporters worldwide.
