7. The Wire Services
While you can’t rush out and buy your subscriptions to wire services such as The Associated Press, Reuters, or Bloomberg News, these news agencies have long been a vital part of the dissemination of breaking news, hard hitting on the ground journalism and photography to many of the news media outlets we read or listen to on a daily basis.
They have provided a constant flow of news and information about politics and the economy with little to no editing which has given them a long reputation for providing factual and accurate reporting. Despite not being able to subscribe to them, with the advent of social media, many of the wire services now have websites and mobile apps that allow you to get your news, in most cases, straight from the horse’s mouth.
