News Agencies are the bodies responsible for the dissemination of world information. They have correspondents who play the role of carrying news across borders.

Other reports to agencies which distribute their news through nationally or internationally circulated magazines and they attempt to achieve a more universal outlook including details of interest to readers from many countries.

News Agencies are sometimes called wire services, this is because their offices are literally lived to their clients by wires and cables over which news and pictures flows.

News Agencies gather, write, edit and send news stories, features, analysis and other materials to clients mostly newspapers, magazine, radio and television stations. The services is also available to commercial and individuals seeking for information. The clients depends on the agencies for the news or information that they cannot gather on their own for economic or other factors.
