3: IPTC 7901 and ANPA 1312
Maintain legacy standards Other Information:
IPTC maintains several legacy standards that are in wide use around the world. The main formats used by news agencies to send
text articles to client newspapers are still IPTC 7901 and its North American cousin ANPA 1312. Both standards have a common
origin in old 1970s teleprinter technology, and in fact they are nearly identical. ANPA 1312 is used mainly in the Americas,
and IPTC 7901 is used elsewhere. ANPA is the former acronym of the organization now known as the Newspaper Association of
America.
