FTM: Reuters-Politico deal more threatening to AP than CNN newswire
December 16th, 2008Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Journalism
The deal between Reuters and Politico is a far better proposal for newspapers seeking an alternative to the Associated Press (AP) than CNN’s plans for a newswire, argues Philip M. Stone.
It’s ‘an outstandingly smart marketing ploy’ by Reuters, adds Stone, as it gives the agency access to a wider range of newspaper subscribers.
