Associated Press Newswire
The Associated Press was founded in America in 1841. The purpose of the founding of it was to combine the efforts of the five largest New York newspapers to bring about more news of the going on's in Europe. To this day Associated Press remains a large combined effort of some of the United States most influential news paper companies. People seek out news from the Associated Press from all over the world.
With the rise of the Internet back in the early nineteen nineties the Associate Press has struggled to maintain a standing in the news and information world. Their ability to make history over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has not helped their case, as their technology is not necessary since news and information is so readily available to the reporter and the everyday person.
Some ways in the late nineteenth century that the Associated Press made history was their coverage and ability to get exact quotes from overseas wars. In the early twentieth century, in 1914, the Associated Press was the first to come up with the, "Teletype," which was a technological advance that allowed the Associate Press to transmit directly to printers over telegraph wires. They were also the first to send photo's over telegraph wires.
The purpose of the Associated Press is to gather news from around the world and provide it, in print, to many news agencies and people.
An Associate Press Newswire is very similar to a press release. The Associate Press gathers headlines and information and sends it out to different news agencies all over the world. A press release is breaking information that the person making the release writes - using maybe one to two pages, and then sends out to different reporters, news agencies, and broadcasting studios. Once the different people receive the information they can make a decision about it's credibility and interest level to the general public and then further investigate and possibly turn the press release into a story.
Some online news agencies will simply post the releases to their site and allow the general public to view them as they please.
An Associate Press newswire can cover a variety of subjects including a entertainment, sports, and politics. Certain newswires are going to have to grab the reporters, news agencies, and broadcasting companies, attention immediately so they can be published immediately. For instance if a sports event takes place that is worthy to be news breaking, the Associated Press is going to want to get it out immediately to their combined news papers services so that it can be published immediately. If the information is not quickly published it is less likely to be of interest to the public and therefore the reader will be less likely to come back to that newspaper in the future.
The Associate Press does not only inform the world of breaking news through the use of newswires. They also gather information and stories from the different large news agencies around the world and publish that information so that it will be available to all of the different newspapers that are combined with them. They also broadcast on the radio. The Associated Press has also won many prizes for breaking information through pictures. The Associated Press has taken pictures for many years of news from around the world and published those pictures making breaking news available to everyone.
If a person wants to be a part of an Associated Press Newswire, and is not a member of the Associate Press, they must discover some way to make breaking news. The most popular news (other than crime) is sports and entertainment. So to get into the Associated Press Newswire a person is going to need to be a part of a major sports moment, or be seen with a famous Hollywood entertainer.
