The Associated Press is an American news agency functioning as a cooperative owned by its contributing newspapers and broadcast stations in the United States.

The AP employs the "inverted pyramid formula" in its writing, a technique that allows news organizations to edit stories for space without losing core information. This approach has solidified the AP's position as a primary national news service based in the U.S., though it faces competition from global and digital news providers.
