Press organizations

Indispensable organizations

We learned previously that the press has played a role in civilizing and civilizing the world in all its roles, and has greatly improved after the invention of the printing press and its spread, which has expanded its scope and made it in need of organization and sufficient preparations to ensure its survival and growth. The success of some of them and the failure of others in the field of life is only because the successful one took the means and worked with the reasons, and the other neglected to take precautions, so he delayed and made room for competition with others. This tangible maturity and constant steady progress requires the establishment of special organizations called newspaper aids, and they are very similar. What are called (government departments) such as the Post Office, the Radio Department, and so on, to facilitate obtaining only internal news sometimes, or only external news other times, or internal and external together, according to the jurisdiction of each of them. As well as organizing the bringing of advertisements, sales and distribution, and everything related to the press. One of the connections that need each other, and they do not all fall outside the scope of referring to two basic sources: editing and management.

These organizations are composed of companies that vary in strength and weakness according to their location and those in charge of them. They have offices in most or most important countries, especially the capitals, managed by informants who obtain news or summarize what is published in local newspapers. In the forefront of these companies:

The British company Reuter, the French Havas, the German Wolff, the Soviet TASS, and the Arab Agency. Journalists' companies or offices are now using writers and delegates to prepare talks and articles and sell them to various newspapers around the world or to specific newspapers. This is because newspapers did not rely only on the efforts of their editors, but also began to benefit from the men of art and literature in addition to giving them salaries or wages for every article or news item.
