news industry

Fourth estate business

The news industry encompasses organizations that gather, produce, and distribute journalism—newspapers, television networks, radio stations, wire services, and digital publications.

The term often appears in discussions about economic pressures, consolidation, and the shift from print to online media: The news industry has struggled to adapt to declining ad revenue.

Sometimes used interchangeably with "the media" or "the press."
