How it's used
Professional journalists and media workers use this term to describe organizations that act as wholesalers of news. Unlike a standard newspaper or television station that produces content for the public, a news agency primarily supplies raw information and footage to other media outlets. It is a formal term rarely used in casual daily chatter unless discussing international politics or media industry structures.
