Los Angeles Times–Washington Post News Service
The Los Angeles Times–Washington Post News Service, sometimes referred to as simply the Times-Post News Service, was a joint news agency in the United States that was created as a partnership between the ''Los Angeles Times'' and ''The Washington Post'' and existed from 1962 to 2009. It served to provide news coverage to its clients, which numbered over 600, and to syndicate articles from both papers for other news organizations. Rather than being a full-fledged wire service such as the Associated Press or Reuters, the Los Angeles Times–Washington Post News Service was what was known as a ''supplemental news service''. Origin The joint service was formed in 1962 and was the product of discussions between the two newspapers' well-known publishers, Otis Chandler and Philip Graham. Chandler and Graham considered sharing foreign correspondents, as both were expanding foreign coverage to compete with the ''New York Times''; instead they decided to set up a joint news service.

All three began with and continue to operate on a basic philosophy of providing a single objective news feed to all subscribers. Jonathan Fenby explains the philosophy: To achieve such wide acceptability, the agencies avoid overt partiality. Demonstrably correct information is their stock in trade.

Great Recession
The Great Recession was a period of marked general decline, i.e. a recession, observed in national economies globally that occurred from late 2007 into 2009. The scale and timing of the recession varied from country to country (see map). At the time, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded that it was the most severe economic and financial meltdown since the Great Depression. One result was a serious disruption of normal international relations. The causes of the Great Recession include a combination of vulnerabilities that developed in the financial system, along with a series of triggering events that began with the bursting of the United States housing bubble in 2005–2012. When housing prices fell and homeowners began to abandon their mortgages, the value of mortgage-backed securities held by investment banks declined in 2007–2008, causing several to collapse or be bailed out in September 2008. This 2007–2008 phase was called the subprime mortgage crisis. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The September 11 attacks, commonly known as 9/11, were four coordinated suicide terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda against the United States on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. That morning, nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners scheduled to travel from the Northeastern United States to California. The hijackers crashed the first two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and the third plane into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States military) in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth plane was intended to hit a federal government building in Washington, D.C., but crashed in a field following a passenger revolt.
