wire story
Syndicated news piece
A wire story is a news article distributed by a wire service—agencies like the Associated Press or Reuters that supply content to subscribing newspapers, websites, and broadcasters.
The term comes from the telegraph wires that once transmitted such reports.
Wire stories provide standardized coverage of events that individual outlets lack resources to cover firsthand: The paper ran a wire story on the earthquake.
