Associated Press Book order

The Associated Press is an American news agency functioning as a cooperative owned by its contributing newspapers and broadcast stations in the United States. Many international news outlets subscribe to AP, paying for access to its extensive journalistic content. 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.
