About AP News

The Associated Press is one of the most trusted news organisations in the world, and its reporting is syndicated across countless outlets.

AP News is the Associated Press's own site. AP stories also reach many more readers through the member newspapers that republish them.

What the numbers mean for a feature

These figures describe the whole site. An individual article gets a share of that traffic, not all of it, and each visitor comes back about 2.6 times a month.

AP carries a level of institutional trust that few names match, and syndication means a single piece can appear in many places.
