OLD: POTUS vs NEWS

They’re is no such thing as fake news, but there are old Presidents, which Trump is the US oldest.

There are several old and established global news organizations. These are the following:

 I should mention them. If we're talking specifically about news agencies, the history gets more interesting than just AFP/AP/Reuters.

The pioneers

• Havas / AFP — France, 1835
  Havas is generally regarded as the first major international news agency. It became Agence France-Presse (AFP) in 1944. WWiley Online Library+1

• Nederlandsch Persbureau — Netherlands, 1833
  There is an interesting earlier case: historian Oliver Boyd-Barrett's research identifies a press agency founded by Isaac Belinfante in Amsterdam in 1833. It was primarily local/regional rather than a major international agency, so Havas is usually credited as the first truly international news agency. UUniversity of Manchester Pure

• Associated Press — United States, 1846
  AP's origins are generally dated to 1846, when New York newspapers joined to share the costs of gathering news. Some historical accounts use 1848 for the formal establishment of the New York Associated Press, so AP's founding date has a little historical complexity. KKyodo News+1

• Wolff's Telegraphisches Bureau — Germany, 1849
  Founded in Berlin by Bernhard Wolff, a former Havas employee. It became one of the three great European international agencies of the 19th century, alongside Havas and Reuters. WWiley Online Library+1

• Reuters — Britain, 1851
  Founded by Paul Julius Reuter, another former Havas employee. WWiley Online Library

• Agenzia Stefani — Italy, 1853
  Founded in Turin by Guglielmo Stefani; it became Italy's principal press agencybefore being dissolved in 1945. WWikipedia

What was the world's oldest press/news agency?, there is a claim for the 1833 Belinfante agency.

What was the world's first major international news agency?, the answer is Havas, founded in 1835, the ancestor of today's AFP. A scholarly history explicitlymakes that distinction. UUniversity of Manchester Pure

And if you ask about the historic great international agencies, the 19th-century core was Havas, Wolff and Reuters, with AP subsequently becoming a major member of the international news system. Cambridge's Business History Review describes Havas, Wolff and Reuters as the "Big Three" of the early global agency era.CCambridge University Press

AFP, AP and Reuters are the surviving descendants of a much larger 19th-century news-agency ecosystem
