I understood that they give access to their articles to other news services, but didn’t know that they themselves source it from other news servicesk if this is what you mean?). I used to think they were the primary producers.
most of the stories I read say AFP or AP either in the beginning or the end, so does that mean they published them? or just that they got it from them?
but didn’t know that they themselves source it from other news servicesk if this is what you mean?
My understanding is that they are the source, and that other news organizations, like CNN, etc., uses them for what they put on air.
They do have staff reporters, but most of their content is generated by other news organizations that are subscribers to them.
The poster you replied to did say that the newswire services also use other organizations as their news source, but they don’t.
Generally speaking, as there are one-offs, the newswire services employees are the ‘boots on the ground’ gathering the news to put into their feed.
Now, a subscriber to the newswire service can add their own opinion and content if they wish, that could skew the original newswire news content.
But newswires don’t get news from other newswire or other companies that subscribe to newswires, they generate the news from their own employees and contractors.
If you want as close to the truth news get it from a newswire.
yeah, that’s what I used to think about those three.
I thought maybe I was wrong lol. now I gotta read about it before anyone says another thing now lol.
thanks for the explanation mate, much appreciated!
