Politico Teams Up With Reuters

Back in August during the Denver conventions when we first noticed Politico outsourcing its coverage to newspapers we speculated on whether they were trying to establish themselves as a sort of political AP. Well it looks like we weren’t that far off. Politico has just announced it will be partnering with Reuters to “to offer U.S. newspapers and global media outlets extensive political, government and business news coverage from both sources.” According to the release the collaboration is “designed to offer all media companies a flexible range of business models and an innovative way to access and integrate premium editorial content.”
