    AFAIK both ways they distribute news from local news sources and also provide they’re own reports.

    They are non aligned news gathering agency's, they have a network of locally based reporters/journalists who file copy which is turned into ready to run packages which are then distributed to clients in all types of media and business. Data gathering is a big part of thier role now.
