newswire
Breaking news channel
A newswire is a service that gathers and distributes news to subscribing media outlets—newspapers, broadcasters, websites.
The term comes from the telegraph wires that originally transmitted these reports.
Major newswires like the Associated Press and Reuters supply breaking news that local outlets couldn't gather themselves: The story came across the newswire this morning.
