AP to Launch Youth-Targeted News Service


The Associated Press (AP) plans next week to launch "asap," a multimedia news service targeted at an 18 to 34-year-old audience that will combine audio, video, blogs and wireless text, The New York Times reported. Over 100 newspapers have signed up for the service, with some integrating free asap content onto their websites and others also adding content to their print editions.

Gartner further projects that by 2029, 15 percent of all enterprise GenAI apps will experience at least one major security incident per year, compared to only 3 percent in 2025. Meanwhile, the d...
