Modern Internet technologies have been opening innovative aspects in research for more than two decades and entrepreneurs and pioneers have been transferring latest technical developments to successful businesses. Business oriented application domains like media get increasingly interested in applying such modern technologies.

Although communication technologies are well employed by modern organizations to generate, publish and distribute their information, specific application domains like online news publishing and distribution involve multinational and multilingual requirements and enormous amounts of data to be transported. This paper discusses an approach that integrates news agency services from existing European organizations supported by University research in the are of global information services, distributed information management and AI in order to form an intelligent multinational business news publishing and distribution network, based on Web Services and a peer-to-peer inter-agency communication network.
