AAP does not underestimate the power of sound - the ability to enhance our news collection with audio has been an exciting new development.

AAP delivers short grabs of actuality to complement its text based news stories.  These grabs include quotes from news makers, eyewitnesses and personalities from across Australia and around the world.

AAP also produces news segments that can be used to provide an audio-only delivery of the whole news story.  We also prepare stock market reports in audio format.

AAP audio can be used to enhance news on radio, the Internet or mobile phones.
