The Port News Agency is a cooperative organization, not for profit, and all costs are shared equally by each family.
There is no evidence of the official establishment of a news agency in 1848. The official date of the founding of the organization that later became the modern Associated Press is January 11, 1849. It was on this day that the six houses mentioned above

The ship gathered news, shared expenses, sold news to newspapers outside New York City, and set membership rules. Apparently due to the growing importance of the business of selling News by telegraph, the organization signed a new agreement in 1851, changing its name to the "Telegraphic General News Association."
The name "Association Press" was not widely used until 1860, but the New York City organization was the forerunner of the modern newspaper association.

Like the Port News Agency, the AP was founded in 1848 as a not-for-profit cooperative. Stone, the first president of the Associated Press, once made it clear to the board:
"A national press association is one which belongs and belongs only to the newspapers, does not sell the news, does not seek personal gain, does not pay dividends, and is merely the agent and agent of the newspapers

Since then, the monopoly of the three news agencies has existed in name only, and the Associated Press has expanded overseas with the Stars and Stripes. By 1940, the number was as high as 1,400, and the modern number is 15,000, becoming the world's largest society. After learning of Lincoln's assassination, he wrote the world's first ever

A set of reporting principles and a series of related techniques that strive to be objective, neutral, non-emotional and non-subjective. Some scholars summarize: "As a profession

Objectivity includes three commitments: independence (whether news should be free from political pressure); Balance (news should be impartial in its presentation); Objective (News should only state the facts, which cannot penetrate
Subjective judgment
)." (Shinto Ayengo et al., "The News That Matters: Television and American Public Opinion"), and other scholars boil it down to three basic connotations: separating facts from opinions, being unemotional, and striving for fair balance.
The principle of objectivity is generally credited to the Associated Press, which pioneered it: "AP was a pioneer in what came to be called 'objective reporting.'" Because AP is a cooperative organization with many members from all walks of life, from different parties, from different regions, with diverse interests and tastes, objective reporting is the only option.
Kent Cooper, who served as general manager of the Associated Press for more than three decades, has been a proponent of the objectivity rule. He interprets the law of objectivity as "truly fair" news reporting and calls the law of objectivity "the best and the new.
