WSJ's content would be significantly devalued if it was made available to competing publications. It’s pretty common practice for a media organisation to syndicate content across its mastheads.

However Reuters does provide all its news online and compete with other online news sites. It the Reuters homepage. I'm actually surprised that AP hasn't done this already. I believe its to ensure they dont drive traffic away from their members. #4 - you are right that the AP doesnt have its own paper or online paper.

Smart move on the part of NewsCorp. Unfortunately, the major problem with these news wire (or quasi news wire) services is that you can go to 10 different news sites and you'll read the exact same piece of news. Diversity of content and opinion will definately suffer. Shafqat www.newscred.com This seems like a no-brainer to me. Smart move on the part of NewsCorp.

Are you referring to more syndication happening or trying to drop a subtle hint about the paywall falling down? “however may indicate a sign of things to come.”
