About news agency activities

NACE code 63.91 covers news agency activities, which play a vital role in the global information ecosystem. News agencies gather, process, and distribute news, images, and other content to media outlets, businesses, and the general public. These organizations are essential for the timely and accurate dissemination of information, enabling informed decision-making across various sectors of the economy.

Production process

News agencies utilize a range of techniques to gather, verify, and distribute news content. Journalists and reporters collect information from a variety of sources, including interviews, press conferences, and on-the-ground observations. The content is then fact-checked, edited, and formatted for distribution through various channels, such as news wires, websites, and social media platforms.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for news agency activities include skilled journalists, photographers, and editors, as well as access to reliable information sources. News agencies also require advanced communication technologies, such as telecommunications infrastructure, computer systems, and software, to facilitate the efficient gathering, processing, and distribution of news content. Additionally, news agencies may rely on specialized equipment, such as cameras, recording devices, and satellite uplink capabilities, to support their field operations.

Production outputs

The main outputs of news agency activities are news articles, reports, images, and other informational content that is distributed to media outlets, businesses, and the general public. This content is often consumed by 58.14 Publishing of journals and periodicals, 60.20 Television programming and broadcasting activities, and 63.12 Web portals, among other NACE codes, as they rely on timely and accurate news to inform their own content and programming.
