Newsroom w siedzibie UPI w Nowym Jorku (1933)

United Press International (UPI) – agencja prasowa powstała w 1958 z połączenia dwóch agencji założonych przez potentatów rynku prasowego: Edwarda Willisa Scrippsa (United Press Agency1907) oraz Williama Randolpha Hearsta (International News Service1909).

UPI przez wiele lat była groźną rywalką Associated Press. W roku swego powstania UPI uruchomiła pierwszy system dostarczania wiadomości własnych do sieci radiowych. Dla UPI pracowało wielu wybitnych komentatorów amerykańskich: Walter Cronkite, Harrison Salisbury, Helen Thomas Zasługą UPI było wprowadzenie nowych technik komputerowych do przekazu informacji. Po epoce skutecznej rywalizacji z AP UPI straciła wiele ze swego prestiżu tak w Stanach Zjednoczonych jak i na arenie międzynarodowej. W 1982 zaczęła się seria zmian własnościowych spowodowana kłopotami finansowymi. Alians koncernów SrcippsHearst sprzedał ją firmie Media News Corporation z Nashville, zaś w 1988 agencję przejęła World News Wire Group, a w 1992 UPI zakupiła saudyjska firma Middle East Broadcasting Center.

f telephony, and a broader concep-tion of the part it plays in radio is being gained as time goes on.However, little thought has been given to the part that BellSystem service plays in making the news of the day availableto us in the daily press. Our major press associations. The Associated Press, UnitedPress Associations, International News Service and UniversalService, use all of our many forms of communication in thecollection and dissemination of the news. Their wire systemsconsist of: Teletypewriter service, which forms the basis of their na-tion-wide trunk wire and state news distributing systems. Telegraph service, formerly the most extensively used classof service, which is now employed for the most part to sup-plement the teletypewriter service on trunk routes and forhandling sporting results, such as baseball and racing. Public News Telephone service, furnished for fixed dailyperiods on a contract basis, which is used to deliver a limitedreport to the smallest newspapers. 38
