CNN drops AP

22 June, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

Richard Sambrook:

This ought to be a great time for the agencies as costs force news organisations to cut their own international news operations they should be more dependant on AP and Reuters. But it seems CNN are drawing a line on agency costs and making the strategic moved to produce and exploit their own material more.

They also announced "CNN Share" and internal operation to move their own amaterial around the CNN operation more effectively. News Corporation recently announced something similar.

(Investing in original and distinctive journalism and exploiting your own material across programmes and platforms better. The BBC once had a News Director who argued for both those things about 7 years ago. Who was that guy?)

    Robert Eisenhart:

    "A year after Reuters began investigative reporting the news agency announced its plans to increase its reporting efforts as a result of consumer demands. Jon Pompeo from the Business Insider's The Wire, recently discussed Reuters investigative reporting efforts with Jim Impoco, the agency's investigative reporting editor.

    According to the agency's online news editor, Keith McCallister, reader's have been "eating [investigative journalism stories] up." McCallister stated that the investigative stories are read more frequently than any of the agency's other articles by a factor of 10."
