AP Sees Expanded Coverage, Growth Ahead

By: Michael Depp | NetNewsCheck

The Associated Press will continue its efforts to retain U.S. newspaper publishers next year, adding an intermediate service level and a “shared news desk” for increased state coverage, says President and CEO Gary Pruitt.

Even though its membership has tilted to nearly 50% television clients, Pruitt says the AP is committed to keeping newspapers in the cooperative and will continue to be responsive to the industry’s plight to ensure that.
