CNN: Separation from AP planned
Laut US-Medienberichten will sich CNN von der Agentur Associated Press (AP) trennen. Damit würde der Nachrichtensender künftig keine Inhalte mehr von grossen Nachrichtenagenturen beziehen.
Mediabistro.com writes according to the press release that CNN is close to ending the collaboration, as people in informed circles are said to have confirmed. However, no final decision has yet been made, according to a spokesperson for the broadcaster.
If CNN does indeed separate itself from the agency services of the AP, it would no longer obtain content from major news services in future. As early as 2007, CNN stopped using text and image material from Reuters. Instead of sourcing content from the agencies, the broadcaster went its own way.
By dispensing with Reuters and now apparently also AP, CNN can concentrate on presenting its own content better. This should also attract new customers as a result. Individual CNN departments such as CNN.com and CNN Radio have been operating without AP content since 2009.
