AP to become 'electronic AP'
Tom Curley, the new president and chief executive officer of The Associated Press, says he wants to transform the Associated Press for the electronic age, referring to the company as "eAP" or "the electronic AP."Curley said AP's news operations -- from print to broadcast to broadband -- would be merged into a single unit that could deliver a multimedia product. "We see eAP as a giant leap forward," he said.
"We are transforming the AP from a wire service, which we've been for 150 years ... to an interactive database and news network that connects us, and not just connects us technically, but more importantly connects our common business and journalistic goals," he told the annual meeting of the New York Newspaper Publishers Association.
