About AAP

Australian Associated Press was founded in 1935 as a co-operative news-gathering organisation for the mutual benefit of its 14 newspaper members.

Today, AAP is a dynamic news enterprise moving more than two billion words a year to print, radio, television and online media. In all, it sends 4500 stories, pictures, video and data files to its customers every day.

The principles upon which AAP was founded more than 75 years ago - impartiality, independence, accuracy, reliability and speed - remain at its heart today.

AAP employs more than 700 people across the world and provides comprehensive news services to both the Australian & New Zealand media and business sectors. AAP news is produced in real time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Newscentre is a division of AAP that provides relevant media coverage from a range of sources across print, radio, television and the internet. Only Newscentre can offer clients direct, real-time access to the AAP & NZ Newswire.
