CNN is set to reveal more this week about its plans to launch a wire service that may compete with, and supplement, existing Associated Press offerings. Editors from various US newspapers will visit Atlanta to hear how CNN may broaden its TV service to provide coverage of big national and international events for papers.
AP will be concerned. Two weeks ago its president and ceo, Tom Curley, said he was worried about a possible challenge from a customer becoming competitors (namely CNN). (Sources: E&P/New York Times)
