By Way of Conclusion: Final Remarks. 330 $aInternational news-agencies, such as Reuters, the Associated Press and Agence France-Presse, have long been ?unsung heroes? of the media sphere. From the mid-nineteenth century, in Britain, the US, France and, to a lesser extent, Germany, a small number of agencies have fed their respective countries with international news reports. They informed governments, businesses, media and, indirectly, the general public. They helped define ?news?. Drawing on years of archival research and first-hand experience of major news agencies, this book provides a comprehensive history of the leading news agencies based in the UK, France and the USA, from the early 1800s to the present day. It retraces their relations with one another, with competitors and clients, and the types of news, information and data they collected, edited and transmitted, via a variety of means, from carrier-pigeons to artificial intelligence. It examines the sometimes colourful biographies of agency newsmen, and the rise and fall of news agencies as markets and methods shifted, concluding by looking to the future of the organisations. 606 $aJournalism 606 $aCommunication 606 $aPrinting 606 $aPublishers and publishing 606 $aJournalism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412030 606 $aJournalism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X28010 606 $aMedia and Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010 606 $aPrinting and Publishing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/421000 615 0$aJournalism. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aPrinting. 615 0$aPublishers and publishing. 615 14$aJournalism. 615 24$aJournalism. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aPrinting and Publishing. 676 $a070.435 676 $a070.4332 700 $aPalmer$b Michael B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01229044 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483575903321 996 $aInternational News Agencies$92853113 997 $aUNINA
