The Associated Press has been breaking news since it was created in 1846. In the generations since, AP has been the first to tell the world of many of history’s most important moments.
BREAKING NEWS, the first book about The Associated Press in 60 years, is a collection of accounts by reporters, photographers and editors that gives you the inside stories from the remarkable people who break the news.
Below you will find a selection of images that are featured in the book.
BREAKING NEWS is available in fine bookstores everywhere, and through online retailers including Amazon.com.
