All Headline News (AHN) was a United States-based news agency or wire service. It was founded in 2000 by W. Jeffrey Brown as an internet news search engine. It has grown to become a major worldwide online news wire service, providing news and other content, to websites, digital signage, and other publishers who pay a fee for the service.
The company's daily news coverage includes international headline news, business, entertainment, celebrity gossip, sports, technology, health and politics. The company also provides a variety of non-editorial content services such as weather, horoscopes, trivia and business data.
AHN's primary focus is breaking headline news and a small investigative news effort.
AHN covers international and national news using a network of journalists, writers, contributors and freelance "stringers" from the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
AHN editors are located in various cities in the United States and abroad and manage electronic news gathering operations using a proprietary news content management system called NewsBahn.
AHN produces over 100,000 news articles a year.
In January 2008, AHN was sued by much larger competitor Associated Press, claiming that AHN allegedly infringed on its copyrights and its hot news, a contentious 'quasi-property' right to facts. The AP complaint alleged that AHN reporters had copied facts from AP news reports without paying a syndication fee. After AHN moved to dismiss all but the copyright claims set forth by AP, the suit was dismissed. According to court records, the case was dismissed pre-trial.
