INTERNATIONAL NEWS AGENCIES - MICHAEL B PALMER ...

International news-agencies  such as Reuters  the Associated Press and Agence France-Presse 
have long been ¿unsung heroes¿ of the media sphere. From the mid-nineteenth century  in Britain
the US  France and  to a lesser extent  Germany  a small number of agencies have fed their
respective countries with international news reports. They informed governments  businesses 
media and  indirectly  the general public. They helped define ¿news¿. Drawing on years of
archival research and first-hand experience of major news agencies  this book provides a
comprehensive history of the leading news agencies based in the UK  France and the USA  from
the early 1800s to the present day. It retraces their relations with one another  with
competitors and clients  and the types of news  information and data they collected  edited and
transmitted  via a variety of means  from carrier-pigeons to artificial intelligence. It
examines the sometimes colourful biographies of agency newsmen  and the rise and fall of news
agencies as markets and methods shifted  concluding by looking to the future of the
organisations.
