wire service

A wire service is a news agency that gathers and distributes news stories to various media outlets, such as newspapers, radio, and television stations. They typically have reporters in many locations who provide timely information on events, sports, and other important topics. Media organizations subscribe to wire services to access this content, allowing them to publish news quickly without having to send their own reporters everywhere. Well-known wire services include the Associated Press (AP) and Reuters. They play a crucial role in keeping the public informed by providing reliable and up-to-date news coverage.
