    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    "

    The Routledge Handbook of News Agencies offers a state-of-the-art companion to global news agency history, political economy, business models, and practices across all publishing platforms.

    With reference to regional, national, and international news agencies, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the industry, from traditional ""wholesale"" news gathering to modern digital services. Topics covered include industry history, research methodologies, major agency categories – including alternative and counter-hegemonic examples –, political economy, and business models addressing marketization, innovation, and technology. The volume also addresses some of the major controversies that beset the industry today, including pertaining to government relationships, revenue generation, service diversification, and maintaining accuracy and reliability in an era of fake news, disinformation, and propaganda. Contributors examine how agencies navigate global markets with diverse legal, cultural, and ideological contexts, providing crucial insights into this foundational yet often overlooked sector of the media industry.

    This Handbook will serve advanced students and researchers of news agencies, media management, and the political economy of news around the world.
