As part of their cooperative agreement with the AP, most member news organizations grant automatic permission for the AP to distribute theirlocal newsreports.

History[edit]

The Associated Press was formed in May 1846 by five daily newspapers inNew York Cityto share the cost of transmitting news of theMexican–American War.[7]The venture was organized byMoses Yale Beach(1800–68), second publisher ofThe Sun,joined by theNew York Herald,theNew York Courier and Enquirer,The Journal of Commerce,and theNew York Evening Express.[8][9]Some historians[10]believe that theNew-York Tribunejoined at this time; documents show it was a member in 1849.The New York Timesbecame a member in September 1851.

Initially known as the New York Associated Press (NYAP), the organization faced competition from the Western Associated Press (1862), which criticized its monopolistic news gathering andprice settingpractices. An investigation completed in 1892 byVictor Lawson,editor and publisher of theChicago Daily News,revealed that several principals of the NYAP had entered into a secret agreement with United Press, a rival organization, to share NYAP news and the profits of reselling it. The revelations led to the demise of the NYAP and in December 1892, the Western Associated Press was incorporated in Illinois as the Associated Press. A 1900Illinois Supreme Courtdecision (Inter Ocean Publishing Co. v. Associated Press) holding that the AP was apublic utilityand operating inrestraint of traderesulted in the AP's move from Chicago to New York City, where corporation laws were more favorable to cooperatives.[11]

Melville Stone,who had founded theChicago Daily Newsin 1875, served as AP general manager from 1893 to 1921. The cooperative grew rapidly under the leadership of Kent Cooper, who served from 1925 to 1948 and who built up bureau staff in South America, Europe and (afterWorld War II), the Middle East. He introduced the "telegraph typewriter" or teletypewriter into newsrooms in 1914.[citation needed]In 1935, the AP launched theWirephotonetwork, which allowed transmission of news photographs over leased private telephone lines on the day they were taken. This gave the AP a major advantage over other news media outlets. While the first network was only between New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, eventually the AP had its network across the whole United States.[12]

In 1945, theSupreme Court of the United Statesheld inAssociated Press v. United States[13]that the AP had been violating theSherman Antitrust Actby prohibiting member newspapers from selling or providing news to nonmember organizations as well as making it very difficult for nonmember newspapers to join the AP.[14]The decision facilitated the growth of its main rivalUnited Press International,headed byHugh Bailliefrom 1935 to 1955.[citation needed]

The AP entered the broadcast field in 1941 when it began distributing news to radio stations; it created its own radio network in 1974. In 1994, it established APTV, a global video newsgathering agency. APTV merged with WorldWide Television News in 1998 to formAPTN,which provides video to international broadcasters and websites. In 2004, the AP moved its headquarters from its long time home at50 Rockefeller Plazato450 West 33rd Streetin Manhattan. In 2019, AP had more than 240 bureaus globally.[15]Its mission— "to gather with economy and efficiency an accurate and impartial report of the news" —has not changed since its founding, but digital technology has made the distribution of the AP news report an interactive endeavor between the AP and its 1,400 U.S. newspaper members as well as broadcasters, international subscribers, and online customers.[citation needed]

The AP began diversifying its news gathering capabilities. By 2007 the AP was generating only about 30% of its revenue from United States newspapers, and by 2024, this had declined to 10%.[16]37% came from the global broadcast customers, 15% from online ventures and 18% came from international newspapers and from photography.[17]

In March 2024,Gannett,the largest U.S. newspaper publisher as measured by total daily circulation, announced that effective March 25, 2024, it would no longer use content from the AP. A spokesperson for AP said that they were "shocked and disappointed" by this development.[18]Newspaper chainMcClatchyannounced that it would also stop using some AP services. Gannett and McClatchy will both continue to use AP's election results data.[16]

Web resources[edit]

The AP's multi-topic structure has resulted in web portals such asYahoo!andMSNposting its articles, often relying on the AP as their first source for news coverage of breaking news items. This and the constant updating evolving stories require has had a major impact on the AP's public image and role, giving new credence to the AP's ongoing mission of having staff for covering every area of news fully and promptly. In 2007, Google announced that it was paying to receive AP content, to be displayed inGoogle News,[19]interrupted from late 2009 to mid-2010 due to a licensing dispute.[20][21]

A 2017 study byNewsWhiprevealed that AP content was more engaged with onFacebookthan content from any individual English-language publisher.[22]

Nonprofit[edit]

In June 2024,Axiosreported that the AP would be launching a nonprofit with the goal of expanding state and local news, hoping to raise $100 million.[23]

Governance[edit]

The AP is governed by an electedboard of directors.[36]Since April 2022, the chairperson isGracia C. Martore,former president and CEO ofTegna, Inc.[37]

Election polls[edit]

The AP is the only organization that collects and verifies election results in every city and county across the United States, including races for the U.S. president, the Senate and House of Representatives, governor as well as other statewide offices.[38]Major news outlets rely on the polling data and results provided by the Associated Press before declaring a winner in major political races, particularly the presidential election.[39]In declaring the winners, the AP has historically relied on a robust network of local reporters with first-hand knowledge of assigned territories who also have long-standing relationships with county clerks as well as other local officials. Moreover, the AP monitors and gathers data from county websites and electronic feeds provided by states. The research team further verifies the results by considering demographics, number of absentee ballots, and other political issues that may have an effect on the final results.[38]In 2018, the AP introduced a new system called AP VoteCast, which was developed together withNORC at the University of Chicagoin order to further improve the reliability of its data and overcome biases of its legacyexit poll.[40]

Recognized for its integrity and accuracy, the organization has collected and published presidential election data since 1848.[41]During the 2016 election, the AP was 100% accurate in calling the president and congressional races in every state.[38]

Sports polls[edit]

The AP conducts polls for numerouscollege sportsin theUnited States.The AP college football rankings were created in 1936, and began including the top 25 teams in 1989. Since 1969, the final poll of each season has been released after all bowl games have been played.[42]The AP released its all-time Top 25 in 2016.[43]As of 2017,22 different programs had finished in the number one spot of the poll since its inception.[44]In the pre-bowl game determination era, the AP poll was often used as the distinction for a national champion in football.

The AP college basketball poll has been used as a guide for which teams deserve national attention. The AP first began its poll of college basketball teams in 1949, and has since conducted over 1,100 polls. The college basketball poll started with 20 teams and was reduced to 10 during the 1960-61 college basketball season. It returned to 20 teams in 1968-69 and expanded to 25 beginning in 1989–90. The final poll for each season is released prior to the conclusion of theNCAA tournament,so all data includes regular season games only. In 2017, The AP released a list of the Top 100 teams of all time. The poll counted poll appearances (one point) and No. 1 rankings (two points) to rank each team.[45]

Sports awards[edit]

Baseball[edit]

The AP began itsMajor League BaseballManager of the Year Award in 1959, for a manager in each league.[46]From 1984 to 2000, the award was given to one manager in all of MLB.[47]The winners were chosen by a national panel of AP baseball writers and radio men. The award was discontinued in 2001.[46]

Basketball[edit]

Every year, the AP releases the names of the winners of itsAP College Basketball Player of the YearandAP College Basketball Coach of the Yearawards. It also honors a group ofAll-Americanplayers.

In 1994, London-based Associated Press Television (APTV) was founded to provide agency news material to television broadcasters.[48]In 1998, the AP purchased Worldwide Television News (WTN) from the ABC News division ofThe Walt Disney Company,Nine Network Australia and ITN London.[48][49]The AP publishes 70,000 videos and 6,000 hours of live video per year, as of 2016.The agency also provides five simultaneous live video channels, AP Direct via satellite for broadcasters, and four live channels on AP Live Choice for digital publishers. The AP was the first news agency to launch a live video news service in 2003.[50]

AP Stylebook[edit]

The Associated Press Stylebook(generally called theAP Stylebook), alternatively titledThe Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law,is astyle and usage guidefor AmericanEnglishgrammar created by American journalists working for or connected with the Associated Press journalism cooperative based inNew York City.TheStylebookoffers a basic reference to American English grammar, punctuation, and principles of reporting, including many definitions and rules for usage as well as styles forcapitalization,abbreviation,spelling,and numerals.

The first publicly available edition of the book was published in 1953. The first modern edition was published in August 1977 byLorenz Press.Afterwards, various paperback editions were published by different publishers, including, among others, Turtleback Books,Penguin's Laurel Press,Pearson'sAddison-Wesley,andHachette'sPerseus BooksandBasic Books.Recent editions are released in several formats, includingpaperbackand flat-lyingspiral-boundeditions, as well as a digitale-bookedition and an online subscription version. Additionally, theAP Stylebookalso provides English grammar recommendations through social media, includingTwitter,[51]Facebook,[52]Pinterest,[53]andInstagram.[54]

From 1977 to 2005, more than two million copies of theAP Stylebookhave been sold worldwide, with that number climbing to 2.5 million by 2011.[55][56]Writers inbroadcasting,news, magazine publishing, marketing departments and public relations firms traditionally adopt and apply AP grammar and punctuation styles.

Litigation and controversies[edit]

Kidnapping of Tina Susman[edit]

In 1994,Tina Susmanwas on her fourth trip toSomalia,reporting for the AP. She was reporting on U.S.peacekeepingtroops leaving the country. Somali rebels outnumbered her bodyguards inMogadishu,[57]dragged her from her car in broad daylight,[58]and held her for 20 days. She toldThe Quillthat she believes being a woman was an advantage in her experience there.[59]The AP had requested news organizations includingThe New York Times,theChicago Tribune,andThe Washington Postto suppress the story to discourage the emboldening of the kidnappers.[58][60]

Christopher Newton[edit]

In September 2002,Washington, D.C.bureau reporter Christopher Newton, an AP reporter since 1994, was fired after he was accused of fabricating sources since 2000, including at least 40 people and organizations. Prior to his firing, Newton had been focused on writing about federal law-enforcement while based at theJustice Department.Some of the nonexistent agencies quoted in his stories included "Education Alliance", the "Institute for Crime and Punishment in Chicago", "Voice for the Disabled", and "People for Civil Rights".[61]

FBI impersonation case[edit]

In 2007, anFBIagent working in Seattle impersonated an AP journalist and infected the computer of a 15-year-old suspect with a malicious surveillance software.[62][63]The incident sparked a strongly worded statement from the AP demanding the bureau never impersonate a member of the news media again.[64]In September 2016 the incident resulted in a report by the Justice Department, which the AP said "effectively condone[d] the FBI's impersonation".[65][66]

In December 2017, following a US court appearance, a judge ruled in favor of the AP in a lawsuit against the FBI for fraudulently impersonating a member of the news media.[67][68]

Fair-use controversy[edit]

In June 2008, the AP sent numerousDMCAtake-down demands and threatened legal action against severalblogs.The AP contended that the internet blogs were violating the AP'scopyrightby linking to AP material and using headlines and short summaries in those links. Many bloggers and experts noted that the use of the AP news fell squarely under commonly accepted internet practices and withinfair-usestandards.[69]Others noted and demonstrated that the AP routinely takes similar excerpts from other sources, often without attribution or licenses. The AP responded that it was defining standards regarding citations of AP news.[70]

Shepard Fairey[edit]

In March 2009, the AP counter-sued artistShepard Faireyoverhis famous image of Barack Obama,saying the uncredited, uncompensated use of an AP photo violatedcopyright lawsand signaled a threat tojournalism.Fairey had sued the AP the previous month over his artwork, titled "Obama Hope" and "Obama Progress", arguing that he did not violate copyright law because he dramatically changed the image. The artwork, based on an April 2006 picture taken for the AP byMannie Garcia,was a popular image during the2008 presidential electionand now hangs in theNational Portrait Galleryin Washington, D.C. According to the AP lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan, Fairey knowingly "misappropriated The AP's rights in that image". The suit asked the court to award the AP profits made off the image and damages. Fairey said he looked forward to "upholding thefree expressionrights at stake here "and disproving the AP's accusations.[citation needed]In January 2011 this suit was settled with neither side declaring their position to be wrong but agreeing to share reproduction rights and profits from Fairey's work.[71]

All Headline News[edit]

In January 2008, the AP sued competitorAll Headline News(AHN) claiming that AHN allegedly infringed on its copyrights and a contentious "quasi-property" right to facts.[72][73]The AP complaint asserted that AHN reporters had copied facts from AP news reports without permission and without paying a syndication fee. After AHN moved to dismiss all but the copyright claims set forth by the AP, a majority of the lawsuit was dismissed.[74]The case has been dismissed and both parties settled.[75]

Hoax tweet and flash crash[edit]

On April 23, 2013, hackers posted a tweet to AP'sTwitteraccount about fictional attacks on theWhite House,falsely claiming that PresidentObamahad been injured.[76]The hoax caused aflash crashon the American stock markets, with theDow Jones indexbriefly falling by 143 points.[77]

Justice Department subpoena of phone records[edit]

On May 13, 2013, the AP announced telephone records for 20 of their reporters during a two-month period in 2012, had beensubpoenaedby theU.S. Justice Departmentand described these acts as a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into news-gathering operations.[78][79]The AP reported that the Justice Department would not say why it sought the records, but sources stated that theUnited States Attorney for the District of Columbia's office was conducting a criminal investigation into a May 7, 2012 AP story about aCIAoperation that prevented a terrorist plot to detonate an explosive device on a commercial flight.[80]The DOJ did not direct subpoenas to the AP, instead going to their phone providers, includingVerizon Wireless.[81]U.S. Attorney GeneralEric Holdertestified under oath in front of the House Judiciary Committee that he recused himself from the leak investigations to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Holder said his Deputy Attorney General,James M. Cole,was in charge of the AP investigation and would have ordered the subpoenas.[82]

AP collaboration with Nazi Germany[edit]

The APcollaboratedwithNazi Germanyand gave to it access to its photographic archives for itsantisemiticNazi propaganda.[83][84]AP also cooperated with the Nazi regimethrough censorship.[85][86]

In 2017, the German historian Norman Domeier of theUniversity of Viennabrought to wider attention the deal between the AP and theNazi governmentrelated to the interchange of press photos during the period in whichthe United States were at war with Nazi Germany.[87]This relationship involved the Bureau Laux, run by theWaffen-SSphotographerHelmut Laux.[87][88]

The mechanism for this interchange involved a courier flying toLisbonand back each day transporting photos from and for Nazi Germany's wartime enemy, the United States, viadiplomatic pouch.The transactions were initially conducted at the AP bureau under Luiz Lupi in Lisbon, and from 1944, when the exchange via Lisbon took too long, also at the AP bureau inStockholmunder Eddie Shanke. Here, as a cover, the Swedish agency,Pressens Bild[sv],was involved as an intermediary. An estimated 40,000 photos were exchanged between the enemies in this way.[89]The AP was kicked out of Nazi Germany whenthe United States entered World War IIin December 1941.[88]

Israeli–Palestinian conflict[edit]

In his bookBroken Spring: An American-Israeli Reporter's Close-up View of How Egyptians Lost Their Struggle for Freedom,former AP correspondentMark Lavieclaimed that the editorial line of the Cairo bureau was that the conflict was Israel's fault and the Arabs and Palestinians were blameless.[90][91][92]Israeli journalistMatti Friedmanaccused the AP of killing a story he wrote about the "war of words", "between Israel and its critics in human rights organizations", in the aftermath of theIsrael/Gaza conflict of 2008–09.[90]

Tuvia Grossman photograph[edit]

On September 29, 2000, the first day of theSecond Intifada,the AP published a photograph of a badly bloodied young man behind whom a police officer could be seen with a baton raised in a menacing fashion; a gas station with Hebrew lettering could also be seen in the background.[93][94][95]The AP labelled it with the caption "An Israeli policeman and a Palestinian on the Temple Mount", and the picture and caption were subsequently published in several major American newspapers, including theNew York Times.[96][93][95]In reality, the injured man in the photograph was a Jewish yeshiva student from Chicago namedTuvia Grossman,and the police officer, a Druze named Gidon Tzefadi, was protecting Grossman from a Palestinian mob who had clubbed, stoned, and stabbed Grossman.[96][93]There are also no gas stations with Hebrew lettering on the Temple Mount.[93][94][95][97]

The episode is often cited by those who accuse the media of having an anti-Israel bias, and was the impetus for the founding ofHonestReporting.[97][98][99][100]After a letter from Grossman's father noted the error, the AP, the New York Times, and other papers published corrections; despite these corrections, the photograph continues to be used by critics of Israel as a symbol of Israeli aggression and violence.[93][95][97][101]

Israeli airstrike on the AP office building[edit]

During the2021 Israel–Palestine crisis,the Israeli armydestroyed the al-Jalaa Highrise,a building housing the AP's Gaza offices andAl Jazeeraoffices. Israel stated that the building housedHamasmilitary intelligence and had given advanced warning of the strike, and no civilians were harmed.[102][103]AP CEO Gary Pruitt released a statement on May 16, stating that he "had no indication Hamas was in the building" and called on the Israeli government to provide the evidence. He said that "the world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today."[104]

On 17 May,US secretary of stateAntony Blinkensaid he had not seen any evidence that Hamas operated from the building housing the AP and Al Jazeera, but it is the job of others to handle intelligence matters. Israel reportedly shared intelligence with American officials and U.S. presidentJoe Bidenshowing Hamas offices inside the building.[105]

Reporters Without Bordersasked theInternational Criminal Courtto investigate the bombing as a possiblewar crime.[106]

On June 8, Israeli Ambassador to the USGilad Erdanmet with AP CEO Gary Pruitt and vice president for foreign news, Ian Phillips, to discuss the operation. In coordination with the IDF, Erdan said the site was used by Hamas intelligence officials to develop and carry out electronic warfare operations,[107]and that IDF did not suspect the AP was aware of the alleged covert Hamas presence. After the meeting the AP stated "We have yet to receive evidence to support these claims".[108]Erdan later tweeted "Israel is willing to assist AP in rebuilding its offices and operations in Gaza."[108]

Firing of Emily Wilder[edit]

In May 2021, the AP said it would launch a review of its social media policies after questions were raised about the firing of a journalist who expressed pro-Palestinian views on social media. The announcement came after some AP journalists signed a letter expressing concern over the termination of former news associate Emily Wilder, whom the AP said committed multiple violations of the company'ssocial media policy.The AP has said that Wilder's previous activism played no role in her termination.[109]

Removal of Israel-Palestine Livestream[edit]

In May 2024, Israeli officials seized equipment broadcasting a live stream of Northern Gaza from the town ofSderotas part of a ban onAl Jazeera Mediain Israel which had received footage from the broadcast. The move was condemned by multiple journalism organizations, Israeli opposition politicians, and US government officials. In a press briefing, the spokesperson for theNational Security Councilcommented on the seizure, saying "The White House and the State Department immediately engaged with the government of Israel at high levels to express our serious concern and ask them to reverse this action."[110]Later that day, Israeli Communication MinisterShlomo Karhiannounced via Twitter that the equipment would be returned to the AP and the Israeli Government would review the positioning of the AP broadcast to determine if it posed a security risk.[111]

Migrant Boat NFT[edit]

On January 10, 2022, AP announced it would start sellingnon-fungible tokens(NFTs) of their photographs in partnership with a company named Xooa, with the proceeds being used to fund their operations.[112]One of the NFTs they promoted on Twitter on 24 February was an aerial shot depicting an overcrowded migrant boat in theMediterranean Sea.The tweet received negative backlash from users and other journalists, with AP being accused of profiting off of human suffering and the picture choice being "dystopian" and "in extremely poor taste". The tweet was subsequently deleted and the NFT, which was to be sold the next day, was pulled from market. Global director of media relations Lauren Easton apologized, saying "This was a poor choice of imagery for an NFT. It has not and will not be put up for auction [...] AP's NFT marketplace is a very early pilot program, and we are immediately reviewing our efforts".[113][114]

Awards received[edit]

The AP has earned 58Pulitzer Prizes,including 35 for photography, since the award was established in 1917.[115]In May 2020,Dar Yasin,Mukhtar Khan,andChanni Anandof the AP were honored with the 2020Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.[116]The choice caused controversy,[117][118][119]because it was taken by some as questioning "India's legitimacy over Kashmir" as it had used the word "independence" in regard torevocation of Article 370.[120]

The AP won an Oscar[121]in 2024 for20 Days in Mariupol,a first-person account[122]of the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
