What do news companies do?
News companies employ journalists, editors and photographers who gather and check news and publish it in newspapers, magazines, websites, apps and broadcasts, while news agencies sell stories and pictures to other media. They earn from subscriptions, advertising and syndication, and the field mixes international news organisations with local and regional titles.
Our data comes from the business registers of 46 countries. SIC has no code of its own for news companies: they sit in SIC codes 7383 (news syndicates), 2711 (newspapers: publishing, or publishing and printing) and 4833 (television broadcasting stations), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for news media and press agencies. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 4,822 of them (87%) sit in classes 63.91 (news agency activities) and 58.13 (publishing of newspapers), part of divisions 63 (information service activities) and 58 (publishing activities).
