press agency

Wire service organization

A press agency is an organization that gathers news and sells it to newspapers, broadcasters, and other media outlets.

Also called a news agency or wire service.

Major press agencies like Reuters and the Associated Press supply stories to publications worldwide, allowing smaller outlets to cover events they couldn't report on directly.
