News agencies can be corporations that sell news (e.g. Reuters , All Headline News (AHN) and Associated Press (AP) ), cooperatives composed of newspapers that share their articles with each other (e.g. AP ), commercial newswire services which charge organisations to distribute their news (e.g. Business Wire , Eworldwire , and PR Newswire ). Governments may also control "news agencies," particularly in Authoritarian states, like China and the Soviet Union or non-profit organizations operated by both professionals and volunteers. A recent rise in Internet -based Alternative News Agencies , as a component of the larger Alternative Media have emphasized a "non-corporate view," as being largely independent of the pressures of Business Media . News agencies generally prepare hard news stories and feature articles that can be used by other news organizations with little or no modification, and then sell them to other news organizations. They provide these articles in bulk electronically through wire services (originally they used Telegraph y; today they frequently use the Internet ). Corporations, individuals, analysts and Intelligence Agencies may also subscribe. The Business Proposition of news agencies might thus be responsible for the current trends in separation of Fact Based Reporting from Op-ed s. PROMINENT INTERNATIONAL NEWS AGENCIES
News agencies are distinct from News Syndicate s that distribute Comic Strip s and other editorial material, such as columns and features, and also from PR Service s that distribute press releases. Sometimes news agencies have separate arms for such work, but many such organizations are completely separate. COMMERCIAL NEWSWIRE SERVICES
