How does AP feel about newspapers sharing content with each other?
 

“I think this is going to be extremely helpful for our editors and for me in particular. I had been just using the AP Exchange site for graphics and our own system for everything else. But after seeing the capability of AP Exchange as it is now – with the custom searches – it opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for finding stories that interest our readers.”
