Associated Press, also known as AP, is a privately owned organization headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1846, the organization employs approximately 3800 individuals and reported $350.0M in revenue as of 2024, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in production and post-production, operating as a global news publisher and a provider of media and broadcast technology solutions.
The Associated Press joined the SPUR Coalition as a founding member on July 9, alongside existing founders including the BBC, Financial Times, Guardian Media Group, Sky News, Telegraph Media Group, and Mediahuis Group. This membership follows an announcement of over 30 new members at the WAN-IFRA News Media Congress earlier in July. Previously, on July 8, the news organization integrated GPTZero for generative AI text detection into its AP Verify tool, an AI-powered platform designed to help journalists verify text, photos, and videos. Earlier in June, AP reported on significant political developments, detailing Latin America's shift to the right on June 17, observing that right-wing populists are gaining traction in major economies by advocating strong-arm approaches to combat crime and illegal immigration. This followed AP's reporting on June 16 about the U.S. primaries, which highlighted that a President Donald Trump endorsement, while impactful, did not always guarantee victory, citing Rick Jackson's campaign spending over $100 million to defeat Trump-endorsed Burt Jones in Georgia's Republican runoff for governor.
