The Wikipedia article on news agencies is pretty good: “Although there are many news agencies around the world, three global news agencies, Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Associated Press (AP), and Reuters have offices in most countries of the world, cover all areas of media, and provide the majority of international news printed by the world’s newspapers.” Scroll down and you’ll also find a list of some smaller news agencies, which tend to focus on local news.

Please put the article link in the post title instead of the body.

On the article: I’m not too worried about cheating photos, since political discourse really should focus on the politics instead of personal drama. On the other hand, AI could be really destructive if somebody e.g. faked a video on police brutality. Paris is currently rioting after a video leaked of an officer shooting a non-threatening driver, and we aren’t too far off from being able to fake such videos.
