Abstract

Information agencies have played a key role in shaping the information picture of the world for many decades. However, the research into their activities remains insufficient. The study aims to identify the peculiarities of operation of two Russian agencies, RIA Novosti and TASS, and the American video agency Associated Press in the historical retrospective. The results of expert interviews with agency heads and senior administrative staff conducted in 2022 revealed similarities and differences. The former lie in overcoming the transition period of the early 1990s and reaching a new technological level, while the latter consist in each one finding its professional niche. The author concludes that the tasks, administrative and creative changes in the news agencies RIA Novosti, TASS and Associated Press are based on historical prerequisites, which allowed the agencies to preserve their identity, uniqueness, and popularity.
