News Agencies are organisation which collects or gathers news and supplies to different newspapers, magazines, televisions and radio stations. News agencies form a major part of the print media, without which many newspapers would find it difficult to function. Newspapers pay a monthly or yearly subscription fees to news agencies for the news they receive.
Press Trust of India (PTI), United News of India (UNI) and Indo Asian News Service (IANS) are the main news agencies of India.
Press Trust of India was founded in 1949 while United News of India was formed in 1961.
Agence France-Presse (or AFP) is the oldest news agency of the world. Later on Reuters was founded in England and Deutsche Presse-Agentur (or DPA) was founded in Berlin. With the advent of communism in Russia, Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (or TASS) was founded.
Xinhua was later founded as Red China News Services in the Chinese Soviet Republic.
With the advent of freedom in the newly liberated regions of the third world, a new wave of information dissemination had taken over and a series of news agencies were born out of it. These agencies later on formed their own Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAMP).
The NANAP served as a premiere information service among the countries of the third world.
