Talk:News agency

message: UPI is no longer a wire service and hasn't offered wire services for almost 10 years.  They should be removed from this article.
This also shows how woefully outdated this information is. Suggest a major rewrite.

thread_title:  How? 

message: Sometimes companies submit press releases to newswire services e.g. announcements about earnings, or changes in management.
The sort of newswires that Jriddell refers to are the majority of news media sources, though. They employ journalists, photographers, researchers, editors and telecomm staff so that their news reports are distributed electronically by "wire" or satellite or modem. They were doing this for decades before the internet. A "newswire" is a term for a service, rather than technology.
The Associated Press is a good example. There isn't an "Associated Press" newspaper. But there is a website, and before that, newspapers and media outlets would purchase the feed to their news reporting services. Newspapers and media outlets continue to do that now. --FeralOink (talk) 03:22, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: This is how newswires get the news

message: I second the above question, and add my own.
What does a newswire look like?  I assume the header includes the date and time (UTC or the bureau HQ's time zone?), a release number or something, a headline name, and perhaps references to photos/maps/diagrams or supplemental files that these days might be "attachments" but in times past might have come over a wirephoto system. Then, there would be some kind of indicator as to the end of different sections of a single release, and an indicator as to the end of the release. Is it possible for someone to post an image of a printed-out release, and to explain the different marks and references? GBC 17:37, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Government Agencies?

message: In Columbia Encyclopedia it says: "As early as the 1820s a news agency, the Association of Morning Newspapers, was formed in New York City to gather incoming reports from Europe". Doesn't the Wikipedia community agree Association of Morning Newspapers was a news agency? Spadarabdon (talk) 13:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Bit about Bangladesh?

message: Under "Major news agencies" more and more very small, new and often nearly unknown agencies are listed. That's ok in my eyes as you don't really know how important they are for their region. BUT... the title "Major News Agencies" won't fit anymore soon.
Also there is a collision with the "List of news agencies" under "See also".
Ideas how this could be made better?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeGon (talk • contribs) 22:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major news agencies <> List of news agencies 

message: Because they are not news agencies. A news agency in the western democratic sense of journalism is independent from the influence of governments and businesses. That trust is the asset they sell. It's the opposite of a commercial newswire service. We should remove that part or at least distinguish clearly between news agencies and commercial newswire services.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeGon (talk • contribs) 23:07, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
