Definition

  • The International News Service (INS) was an American news agency founded by newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst in 1909 to serve his own growing chain of papers as well as other subscribers. Always a distant third to its larger rivals, the Associated Press and the United Press, INS combined with the latter in 1958 to become United Press International.
