Reporting is one of the indispensable parts of the journalism profession, so what does agency reporting mean?
Thanks to the developing technological tools, news gathering and dissemination activities have undergone profound changes compared to the past.

In addition, the entire recording of a conversation can be made with the same device and furthermore can be forwarded to the news center. This development tells us that; The process of gathering a story with the help of at least three people by sending a reporter for a news gathering process, plus a photojournalist and a cameraman now stands as a business of the previous century. This type of reporting, known as agency reporter, where only one person can do all the news gathering work and all the necessary elements such as photographs, videos, sound recordings and texts are made by one person, has been made possible by this technological development. Reducing the number of people involved in the news gathering process, which is a very costly business, of course, financially suits the institutions working in this field and is a reason for preference.
