TI - The Most Important Development Trends of Contemporary Global News Agencies. Case Study of the Activities of the Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France‑Presse
AB - This study is a case study presenting the most important development trends of contemporary global news agencies on the example of three leading global institutions: Associated Press (AP), Reuters and Agence France‑Presse (AFP). The research focuses on changes resulting from the adaptation of global news agencies to the advanced stage of digital culture and the needs of a dynamically developing information society. The impact of phenomena such as disinformation and the COVID-19 pandemic has been taken into account. The article analyses the scientific literature and uses a qualitative analysis of the content of Internet messages. The research materials include sources made available by the discussed institutions on official websites and press publications published by industry portals. The results of the research made it possible to show the impact of new technologies on the reach, content, and distribution of agency services. The forms of activity and standards of work in global news agencies typical of the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century were pointed out, emphasizing the new functions and the breakthrough importance of addressing the offer to young recipients. In the context of the fourth industrial revolution, the issue of the increasing share of artificial intelligence in editorial work was raised.
