A New Era for News

Innovation is the key to the transition that the newspaper industry is facing. Under Member Choice, AP is expanding its value for newspapers, both in print and online. Coverage is being increased in key target areas of growth, enhancing the ability of newspapers to create custom news reports relevant to their local and niche audiences. Flexible new licensing will enable them to use AP content in a wide range of local publications and the technological tools to do all these things are being provided.

The Associated Press is focused on finding ways to help members create new revenue opportunities and capitalize on the value of the cooperative. This site offers the latest announcements, research tools, training tips and innovative case studies designed to help members make the most of AP's products and services.
