What are the three major news agencies in the world?

1, Associated Press, 1892 The Associated Press was formally established in Illinois and is now headquartered in new york. Associated Press is a cooperative non-profit organization, which adopts membership system in the United States. Members pay membership fees and send press releases to the head office, which provides members with news information from all over the world free of charge. However, foreign newspapers, radio stations and TV stations must pay a subscription if they want to get news.

2. Agence France-Presse, 1835 was established in Paris, France, and is the earliest communication agency in the world. After World War II, the French government merged all telegraph offices, including Hawass, into the current AFP and gave official subsidies. In addition to sending general press releases, AFP also provides business quotations, fashion trends and other special functions.

Reuters is the earliest news agency in Britain, which was founded by Paul Julius Reuters in London in 185 1. Reuters mainly interviews foreign news, and then provides it to British newspapers, radio and television stations, and also sends it to foreign subscribers.

The earliest news agency in the world.

1826, Hawass established a news agency to provide news and materials for the translation of foreign newspapers. Its subscribers are mainly diplomats and people in trade and finance. He suggested that the publishing house subscribe to the manuscript, but it was rejected.

Eight years later, cheap newspapers appeared in France. Unlike the party newspaper, cheap papers paid attention to news instead of speech. According to this change, Hawass founded Hawass News Agency in 1 835, recruited journalists and collected news, and started the business of quickly translating news articles from foreign newspapers. Some cheap papers also joined the customers.

Balzac wrote in Paris Magazine edited by him in 1840: "Generally speaking, there are many newspapers in Paris, but to be honest, strictly speaking, there is only one newspaper in Paris, and that is the press release edited by Hawass News Agency, which was run by Mr. Hawass, who once opened a bank in Rousseau Street.

The office of this news agency is located in front of the post office, so newspapers from all over the world will arrive in Hawass soon. In other words, Mr Hawass got the news from all over the world before anyone in Paris. In this sense, Hawass knows everything except the diplomatic authorities. "

1859, Hawass signed a news exchange contract with Reuters in Britain and Wolff in Germany, and soon began to use the Atlantic submarine cable connecting Europe and America. Hawass's business has expanded to a global scale.
