The American news cooperative founded in 1846 by New York newspapers pooling the cost of bringing news from the Mexican War. Owned by its member outlets rather than shareholders, the AP built the plain, sourced wire style that became the baseline voice of news, and its stylebook remains the American press's common rulebook.
