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

There are several prominent syndication services operating across the globe such as [The New York Times News Service,][Tribune Media Services,] [Guardian News Service,] [Family Features Editorial Syndicate]and [Times Syndication Service], 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.

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. Although initially acting as a placement agent, syndicates have also started to provide holidays and other benefits. A syndicate can receive upwards of 5000 submissions a year, from which only two or three will be selected for representation. Notable syndicates include King Features Syndicate, Universal Press Syndicate, United Media, Creators Syndicate, and Tribune Media Services. Online webcomic syndicates include Keenspot and Modern Tales.
