Comparisons
Two often-confused notions side by side: what really separates them, and which one matters when.
AFP vs Reuters: two opposite ways of guaranteeing independence
One has a sui generis statute created by law, the other a charter inside a listed group. How AFP and Reuters shield their newsrooms, and what that changes.
Google News vs Apple News: two ways of serving you the news
One is open to the whole web and algorithm-driven, the other stays inside Apple's ecosystem and mixes in human curation. What really separates them, with no invented numbers.
News agency vs newspaper: who writes what, and for whom
An agency sells dispatches to media outlets; a newspaper addresses the public. Client, editorial line, format, byline: the difference between the two trades, explained.
News vs opinion: telling the difference in thirty seconds
One reports what's verifiable, the other argues a position. The signs that separate them, why the line blurs, and how to find it again as you read.
Print vs digital news: what the medium actually changes
Deadline versus rolling flow, a front page versus an algorithm, impossible correction versus permanent updating: what each medium gains and loses, without nostalgia.
Reuters vs AP: what actually separates the two agencies?
A US not-for-profit cooperative against a listed group's subsidiary: the ownership, business model and independence safeguards of Reuters and AP, compared.
