Newswire Definition

A wire service that transmits up-to-the-minute news, usually electronically, to the media and often the public.

A newswire does not deliver news to consumers, only to newspaper companies.

Technology allows stories, graphics, and photographs to be transmitted on a wide scale to newspaper companies that produce a product for consumers.

International access - Reporters for newswires cover news all over the world.

Complete stories - Newswire service reporters cover the story, write an article on the story and then submit the story by electronic means to participating newspapers.
