Print syndication is a form of syndication in which news articles, columns, or comic strips are made available to newspapers, magazines, and websites.

There are several prominent syndication services operating across the globe such as The Telegraph Media Group Service, The New York Times News Service, Tribune Media Services, Project Syndicate, North Star Writers Group, Guardian News Service, Family Features Editorial Syndicate, 3DSyndication : Syndication Service from India [1], The India Today Group's Syndications Today, the Indian Times Syndication Service and Universal Press Syndicate, which provide news and lifestyle content to various other publications. They offer reprint rights and grant permissions to other parties for republishing content of which they own copyrights.

[edit] Comic-strip syndication

A U.S. comic strip syndicate will act as an agent for a cartoonist or comic strip creator, working to place the cartoon or strip in as many newspapers as possible on behalf of the artist. In some cases, the work will be owned by the syndicate as opposed to the creator. A syndicate can receive upwards of 5000 submissions a year,^{[citation needed]} from which only two or three will be selected for representation. Notable syndicates include King Features Syndicate, Universal Press Syndicate, United Media, the Washington Post Writers Group, Creators Syndicate, and Tribune Media Services.
