Wire Services,the central fulcrum and nervous midpoint of the process of news gathering,analysis,and purposeful dissemination in textual,visual or multi mediated format act as bridges by selling the news to different media organisations and agencies which purchase the content.
Their roots lie in the former times when agencies would use telegraphs to share their stories.
Their functions include:
.Publishing mass material not for mass consumption but for mass media outlets dependent on news agencies for news and updates.
Altering news as per industry demands as per the political,economic or entertainment based context of the demands and pursuits.
Altering coverage patterns and service patterns as per different cities,beats,audio tapes,photographs,text stories etc.
