Abstract- News agencies have achieved maximum efficiency in the dissemination of news worldwide through the coordination between local offices, and regional or global headquarters:

News reports are written by journalists at local offices; then Reports are transmitted to the regional headquarters housing the desk where information is processed, (translated if it is from other languages), edited, and sent to the newswires, and owning their own desk’s chief editor, editors of different languages, translator- editors. The regional headquarters mediate with the local offices by coordinating coverage and commissioning specific pieces, and

bringing together the outputs from the different offices in the region.

E.g., Reuters news agency: placing its corporate headquarters in London, and organising three regional headquarters in Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
