Evolution of News Agencies 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. Other local news agencies sprang up, and by 1856 the General News Association—comprising many important New York City papers—was organized. Out of this agency emerged in the 1870s the New York Associated Press, a cooperative news agency for New York papers that sold copy to daily papers throughout the country; the United Press began in 1882. Ten years later these organizations were merged, but the same year a rival agency, the Associated Press of Illinois, was founded. In Europe three international agencies had arisen—Agence Havas of Paris (1835); the Reuter Telegram Company of London (1851), known simply as Reuters; and the Continental Telegraphen Compagnie of Berlin (1849), known as the Wolff Agency. These began as financial-data services for bankers but extended their coverage to world news. By 1866 national agencies were arising in many European countries; they covered and sold news locally, relying on the major services for coverage and sales abroad.

After the Associated Press of Illinois signed exchange contracts with the worldwide networks, the United Press went under (1897). In 1900 the Associated Press of Illinois, desiring to restrict its membership, reincorporated in New York state and was thereafter known as the Associated Press (AP); in 1915 the United States forbade the agency to restrict its members' use of other services. A Supreme Court decision in 1945 ended the exclusion of members' competitors. In 1906 William Randolph Hearst Hearst, William Randolph, 1863–1951, American journalist and publisher, b. San Francisco.

The United Press Association, usually called United Press (UP) although there was no connection with the earlier organization, became an affiliate of the Scripps-Howard newspapers and sold reports to others.

The AP, UP, and INS grew steadily, and by the 1930s their foreign operations freed them of dependence on the European agencies, which tended to reflect national viewpoints in political news. In 1958 INS was merged with UP, forming United Press International (UPI). Since the 1980s, UPI has had a series of owners and undergone extensive downsizing; many other agencies have reduce the number of their employers since the late 1990s, as new agencies have been forced to adjust to changes in newspaper publishing and broadcasting due to the rise of the Internet. After World War II many agencies, including Reuters, AP, and Agence France-Presse (the renamed Agence Havas) became cooperatives owned by their member publishers. In 2008 Reuters was acquired by the Thomson Corp., which became Thomson Reuters. CNN, the television news network, began offering a wire service to newspapers in 2008. Government Agencies Government ownership of news agencies stems from the early 1900s. In 1904 the St. Petersburg (later Petrograd) Telegraph Agency was founded by the Russian government.

In 1918, Soviet Russia founded Rosta, the Russian Telegraph Agency, by merging the telegraph agency with the government press bureau, and in 1925 Rosta became TASS, the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union. Renamed the Information Telegraph Agency of Russia in 1992 and known as ITAR-TASS, it became the official news service of Russia. Since 2014, when it was renamed Russian News Agency TASS, it has been known as TASS. In 1915, Germany established a service called Transocean to broadcast war propaganda. The New China News Agency (Xinhua), founded in 1931 as the Red China News Agency, maintains official news and financial service wires, publishes dozens of newspapers and magazines, has its own advertising and public relations firms, and runs a school of journalism. Since 1990 independent news agencies have appeared in Eastern Europe, including Interfax in Russia and A. M. Pres in Romania. News Transmission From 1915 until the 1940s, news agencies in the United States transmitted most copy over telephone wires to teletypewriters in newspaper offices.

The late 1940s, however, brought the introduction of Teletypesetter machines, which allowed the stories from the agencies, in the form of perforated paper tape, to be fed into typesetting, or linotype, machines, without the use of human operators. In using Teletypesetters to save labor, publishers ceded to the agencies some of their editing prerogative, thereby standardizing usage and writing style in newspaper stories. Newspapers moved from linotype to photocomposition in the late 1960s to 1970s. Information is now transmitted by satellite service or the Internet, and newspapers reconstruct the information in their own format. Most news agencies also offer their clients photographs, news analyses, and special features; for radio and television stations they transmit news-broadcast scripts, video, and programming. Since the advent of computer technology, many news services have become available on line, and their products are also available for mobile phones and other devices. Bibliography See K.

Fenby, The International News Services (1984). News Agency an organization which collects, processes, and distributes information on a contractual basis to newspapers, magazines, radio, television, publishing houses, government agencies, public organizations, and private persons. In capitalist countries news agencies are usually private enterprises, sometimes with government and private financing or, more rarely, official organs of the state. In socialist countries news agencies are either government or public organizations. News agencies arose with the development of periodical publications. The earliest newspapers and magazines, which appeared in the 17th and early 18th centuries, gathered their own information. The volume of information was increased when major newspapers hired staff reporters to cover news first at home and then abroad. The first news agencies, some of which became known as telegraph agencies as a result of the development of telegraph communications, were created in the first half of the 19th century. In 1835, C.

Havas founded his own agency in France, which functioned for over 100 years; in 1851, Havas’ collaborator P. Reuter created the present-day Reuters Agency in London; another colleague of Havas’, B. Wolff, organized Wolff’s Telegraph Agency in Berlin in 1849. In Russia the first telegraph agencies were the Russian (RTA), founded in 1866; the International (MTA), founded in 1872; and the Northern (STA), founded in 1882. They were, as were all West European news agencies, private enterprises. The first national Russian telegraph agency was founded in 1894. In 1904 the state-run St. Petersburg Telegraph Agency was created, and it became the Petrograd Telegraph Agency (PTA) in 1915. In 1918 the Russian Telegraph Agency (ROSTA) was founded. It was followed in 1925 by the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS), news agencies of the Soviet republics, and in 1961 by the public Novosti Press Agency (APN).

Some of the largest news agencies in socialist countries are the Polish Press Agency (PAP), the Hungarian Telegraph Agency (MTA), the ADN in the German Democratic Republic, and Prensa Latina in Cuba. A news agency’s goals in the USSR and other socialist countries are to supply its country’s news media and the foreign press with accurate information on the construction of socialism and communism, to expose the bourgeois lies about countries in the socialist camp, to inform people of events that have taken place in the world, and to contribute in every way to the solidarity of strength in the struggle for peace, democracy, and socialism. A few national news agencies have now been founded in the developing nations of Asia and Africa—for example, the MEN in the United Arab Republic. The major news agencies in capitalist countries are Reuters in England, Agence France Presse in France, Associated Press and United Press International in the USA, and Kyodo Tsushin Sha in Japan. In capitalist countries news agencies have ties with ruling circles and monopolies; they are actually the apparatus for organizing biased information and for supplying misinformation that meets the political, military, and economic interests of the monopolies. A great change took place in the function of news agencies at the turn of the century.

At first they provided newspapers and magazines with news items and official government information. Now they also supply news stories, articles, reviews, sketches, and illustrations. Some news agencies supply clients with made-to-order special newspaper columns or entire issues. The range of information has broadened extraordinarily, encompassing various aspects of social, political, scientific, and cultural life. Scientific and technical items have proliferated. News agencies can receive, process, and deliver information quickly by using modern communication methods: radio transmitters and receivers, multiconductor telegraph and telephone cables, teletypewriters, phototelegraphy, facsimile apparatus, calculators, and computers.

TASS facts, information, pictures | Encyclopedia.com articles about Soviet Union. TASS COPYRIGHT 2004 The Gale Group Inc. TASS TASS, the Telegraph Agency of the USSR , was founded in July 1925 with the goal of centralizing control over the distribution of foreign news in the Soviet Union under the oversight of the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs and the Soviet of Peoples' Commissars (Sovnarkom ). Until the collapse of the USSR, TASS remained the single most important supplier of foreign news to the Soviet mass media, a major producer of domestic news, and a key instrument for conveying information and propaganda from the Soviet government to foreign governments and populations. After 1991 TASS became ITAR-TASS (Information Telegraph Agency of Russia ), the central information distributor for the Russian Federation. TASS's predecessor, the Russian Telegraph Agency, or ROSTA, was founded by the Bolsheviks in September 1918 and charged with an array of functions including provision of news reports to the Soviet press, instruction of journalists in training, and supervision of provincial newspapers.

ROSTA staff and financial resources were clearly not adequate to these huge tasks and, in fact, the provincial press was run by local initiatives during the civil war. In the winter of 1921 to 1922 the newly created Press Section of the Party Central Committee's Agitprop Department took over supervision of the provincial press and ROSTA was restricted to wire service functions. TASS never had a monopoly on the collection and distribution of either foreign or domestic news. Until the late 1920s RATAU, the Ukrainian Republic's official wire service, maintained correspondents abroad and engaged in a series of turf wars with ROSTA/TASS over distribution of foreign news in Ukraine . Major newspapers such as Pravda, Izvestia, and Trud (the central labor union newspaper) generally posted several correspondents abroad. In addition to its public news distribution functions, TASS supplied "Not for Press" information bulletins to Soviet leaders during the late 1920s and most likely for most of Soviet history.

It was followed in 1925 by the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS), news agencies of the Soviet republics, and in 1961 by the public Novosti Press Agency (APN). Some of the largest news agencies in socialist countries are the Polish Press Agency (PAP), the Hungarian Telegraph Agency (MTA), the ADN in the German Democratic Republic, and Prensa Latina in Cuba.

A news agency’s goals in the USSR and other socialist countries are to supply its country’s news media and the foreign press with accurate information on the construction of socialism and communism, to expose the bourgeois lies about countries in the socialist camp, to inform people of events that have taken place in the world, and to contribute in every way to the solidarity of strength in the struggle for peace, democracy, and socialism. A few national news agencies have now been founded in the developing nations of Asia and Africa—for example, the MEN in the United Arab Republic. The major news agencies in capitalist countries are Reuters in England, Agence France Presse in France, Associated Press and United Press International in the USA, and Kyodo Tsushin Sha in Japan. In capitalist countries news agencies have ties with ruling circles and monopolies; they are actually the apparatus for organizing biased information and for supplying misinformation that meets the political, military, and economic interests of the monopolies. A great change took place in the function of news agencies at the turn of the century. At first they provided newspapers and magazines with news items and official government information. Now they also supply news stories, articles, reviews, sketches, and illustrations.

Some news agencies supply clients with made-to-order special newspaper columns or entire issues. The range of information has broadened extraordinarily, encompassing various aspects of social, political, scientific, and cultural life. Scientific and technical items have proliferated. News agencies can receive, process, and deliver information quickly by using modern communication methods: radio transmitters and receivers, multiconductor telegraph and telephone cables, teletypewriters, phototelegraphy, facsimile apparatus, calculators, and computers.

Tass was one of the world's major international wire services, distributing news throughout the Soviet Union and the rest of the world. It was established by the Soviet government in 1925 to replace the first Revolutionary news agency, Rosta, which had taken over the tsarist news agency in Petrograd (St. Petersburg). Until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Tass was responsible to the Council of Ministers. Its extensive national news networks were the main source of news for all Soviet newspapers and radio and television stations. It had news bureaus and correspondents in more than 100 countries and its international clients included the wire services of most developed Western nations as well as eastern European and Third World countries. International service was transmitted in Russian, English, French, German, Spanish and Arabic. Tass dispatched on matters of public policy and international affairs reflected the official position of the state. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Tass was reorganized into two branches: the Information Telegraph Agency of Russia or ITAR, reporting on news of Russia and the Telegraph Agency of the Countries of the Commonwealth or Tass, reporting on news of the other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

 in The 'Post-Cold War' Era 1988-1991 Looking To The Future The influence of the intelligence services is apparently relatively undiminished in some formerly Soviet organizations that have extensive international operations.

According to TASS employee Alexander Zhebin, the influence of former KGB members remains strong in that organization. writing in Moscow News' issue number 7 (Feb. 16-23) of 1992, Zhebin stated: To this day, from one-third to half of all correspondents of the leading department of TASS (the official Soviet news agency abroad) are on the payroll of special services. ...Even after the proclamation of TASS as an "independent" agency, the special services and their representatives in this organization have continued to wield decisive influence in the formation of the network of correspondents abroad. ... in whole divisions, personnel selection remains the task of old, experienced hands. The former Main Editorial Office of Foreign Information, now renamed International Information Agency, has been headed by V. Chukseyev since the early 1980s. Now, as in the past, he signs the documents which sanction the dispatch of dozens of sham correspondents abroad, and presents them to the TASS Collegium for approval. ... recently, having retained supervision over the foreign press, he received the post of Deputy Director-General. He simultaneously heads the commission charged with reorganizing the agency.

In the autumn of 1991, V. Talanov was once again appointed deputy - in charge of personnel. In the early 1980s, as an official of the Department in Charge of Personnel Working Abroad at the CPSU Central Committee, he "took care" of TASS. Through him, an endless stream of special service officers was forwarded by a directive order to TASS. ...In TASS' history there were periods when the personnel service was headed by journalists. But, for the past 20 years at least, the special services have not ceded to anyone the post of deputy head of the personnel department - which selects all TASS personnel to be sent abroad. The KGB may seem to no longer exist, but its staff member still occupies this post. ...Meanwhile, the agency is being left by specialists. Never before in its history did TASS see such an outflow of personnel as it did last year. Young and promising journalists and eminent masters of the pen alike to whom TASS has owed its existence for years, have been quitting. They are leaving in droves, with heads of editorial offices first to the doors.

After giving up 17 years of my life to TASS, I, too, am leaving. In May 1991, the Soviet Peace Committee apparently set up a special fund to help ensure the future functioning of the World Peace Council (WPC), which is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland and for decades was the premier Soviet international front organization. According to an article in the November 1, 1991 issue of the Finnish newspaper Kansan Uutiset, the interest from this $2.2 million fund has provided $170,000 in interest income donated to the WPC, accounting for more than 30 percent of its 1992 budget. For 1993, the donation from the fund is expected to be about $225,000. Funding endowments like this could supply the financial means for former Soviet front groups to operate indefinitely. The Soviet Peace Committee has dissolved itself, but its work is being carried on by the "International League for Peace and Reconciliation," which was formed in January 1992.

The League first Vice-Chairman and de facto leader Oleg Kharkhardin had formerly been a high-ranking Soviet representative to the WPC. According to Kansan Uutiset: At that time, he represented the Soviet Peace Committee, but the man's actions suggested that he was really associated with the KGB. ...Kharkhardin himself steered the Council's international money flows and disciplined the WPC office's secretaries coming from socialist countries. There have been numerous reports in the Soviet press about billions of rubles of CPSU money that is missing and which may have been funneled abroad. During the decades in which the CPSU and Soviet government funded extensive foreign operations, there was ample opportunity for the Soviets to establish hard currency reserves in foreign countries, the capital and earnings of which could be used to fund future active measures operations, as is apparently being done for the World Peace Council. This is an additional reason why active measures operations are unlikely to disappear. In summary, both the hard-line former communist forces and the Russian government are engaged in active measures and disinformation operations, in the quest to achieve their political goals. Both groups should be expected to continue to pursue such operations vigorously. There are many reasons for this.

Those who have lived their entire lives in a totalitarian system are well-schooled in such techniques and keenly aware of their effectiveness; the totalitarian experience has bred widespread cynicism, the moral atmosphere in which such operations flourish; front groups constructed for these purposes already exist or can easily be created; and active measures and disinformation techniques continue to be ill-understood and largely overlooked in societies that have not experienced totalitarianism, making them an effective tool for influencing such audiences. In short, active measures and disinformation are one of the few areas in which those who have lived in a totalitarian regime have a competitive advantage over those who have not. Until and unless a truly democratic regime that fully embraces Western ideals of truth, honesty, openness, and mutual advantage emerges in Russia, those in power or contending for power there will, most likely, find it to their advantage to continue active measures and disinformation operations. In addition, other CIS countries, for many of the same reasons listed above, are likely to develop active measures and disinformation apparatuses of their own for use in their foreign relations.

The themes that will most likely be propagated in future dealings with the West by the Russian government, hard-line communists and other sponsors of active measures in the former USSR would logically be for the most part alarmist and conciliatory themes, as was characteristic of Soviet active measures during the "post Cold-War" years of 1988 to 1991. These types of themes will be the most difficult for the West to discern because they derive their credibility in Western eyes from the fact that they represent either what the West wants most or fears most, but in either case, finds most plausible from its own perspective. Some archetypal themes that might be aimed at the West in the future could include: "We are embarking on reforms that will remake us in a Western image," or "If you do not supply us with enormous amounts of aid with few restrictions, a dangerous, chaotic situation will emerge." Such broad themes are inherently impossible to prove or disprove and they may seem self-evident to many. The use of such themes could therefore be very effective in influencing opinions.

Outside the Commonwealth of Independent States, state or non-state actors reared in a communist tradition or one resembling it in spirit can be expected to continue to wage active measures and disinformation campaigns as long as they exist. Last, but not least, the legacy of the vigorous and spiteful anti-Western and, particularly, anti-American campaigns the Soviet Union orchestrated for decades will be felt for many years to come in the form of the lasting perceptions and attitudes that they shaped throughout the world.
