Newswire distributed content (wire services like PTI, UNI, Reuters, etc. gather and distribute the content to newspapers). The wire services license the content to newspapers under certain mutually agreed terms. The copyright is held by wire servces but assigned to the newspaper. 3. Signed articles - The newspapers will have syndicated coloumnists who contribute articles. They are like authors. They hold the copyright and assign it to news paers.
