The most likely original source of a national news story printed in a small town newspaper is The Associated Press (AP). The AP is a wire service that provides news stories to newspapers across the country, including small town newspapers. Large national newspapers like Newsweek or The Chicago Tribune may also be sources for national news stories, but they are less likely to be the original source for a small town newspaper. The newspaper's beat reporter may cover local events and issues, but would not be the primary source for a national news story. MSNBC is a cable news network and not a source for newspapers.
