A press service (also called a press agency) is a company or organization that collects, processes and distributes news and information. Press services work as an intermediary between news sources and the media (such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, online media, etc.), providing news and background information to journalists.
Press services source and produce news on various topics such as politics, business, culture, sports and other areas. They then publish these news items on their own platforms or distribute them to various media houses. The main purpose of press services is to provide effective and fast information transmission to ensure that relevant news and information reaches the media and audience quickly and reliably.
Some of the best-known press services are the Associated Press (AP), Reuters, Agence France-Presse (AFP) and dpa.
