Which of the following is NOT listed as a news service used by media outlets?

• A. NBC News
• B. ABC News
• C. Reuters
• D. Fox News

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is the difference between a wire service (a news service that distributes content to many outlets) and a network that produces content for its own platforms. Wire services provide stories, photos, and reports to a wide range of media outlets, which then publish or broadcast that material. Reuters fits this role clearly: it operates as a news service that many outlets rely on for shared, distributable reports.

NBC News, ABC News, and Fox News, on the other hand, are large networks that generate content for their own channels. They’re not external wire services supplying content to other outlets in the same way Reuters does. That distinction is why Reuters is the one highlighted in this context as the representative of a news service used by media outlets.
