newspaper syndication

Newspaper syndication refers to the practice of distributing content, like articles, columns, or cartoons, from a single source to multiple newspapers and publications. Writers and creators, often referred to as "syndicators," create material that can be sold to or licensed by various outlets. This allows smaller newspapers or those without extensive in-house staff to offer a wider variety of content. It benefits creators by broadening their audience, while newspapers save time and resources by obtaining ready-made features. Overall, syndication helps diversify newspaper content and maintain profitability in a competitive media landscape.
