According to experts and analysts, news agencies in the 21st century tend to:
1) pack up multimedia contents in the same service, mixing text, photo, video, audio, data and others, all which were previously sold separately;
2) concentrate geographical or thematic niches, such as a region (Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe) or a topic (Economics, Science, Sports);
3) offer customized services like reporting on demand or intelligence reporting;
4) offer at least part of their contents online for free, while charging for the full service subscriptions;
5) aiming at not only the major media outlets, but also medium-sized and small newspapers and news websites;
6) using digital search technologies (lik bots) to monitor news portals which publish their services for the general public, as well as newspapers which use agencies' source material without duly crediting;
7) return to state subsidizing (except for the major four: Reuters, AFP, AP and Bloomberg).
