How News Agencies Work?
News agency contains many sources, every office has their comprehensive diary including news about events happened from local media, government minister’s speech, major companies’ annual general meetings or witness’ report of an event.
Before the news agency publish the news, they have to check all the sources whether it is fact. Editors will check the news before they transmit them to their clients as well, and make sure that doesn’t cause any conflict with the published news. They have to be accurate as if they made a mistake, corrections have to be send to all the subscribers through newspaper, televisions and radio and their news are used by many subscribers across the world, so they have to be careful and can’t give false information.
Furthermore, since the news agency provides objective news, so they have no side, and no hint or ambiguity in their report. Their role is to report the fact to the public.
