news agency
Story distribution organization
A news agency is an organization that gathers and distributes news to subscribing media outlets—newspapers, television stations, websites.
Rather than each outlet sending reporters everywhere, they share content from agencies like the Associated Press or Reuters.
Also called a wire service, from the era when stories traveled by telegraph wire.
