United Press International is a digital news and photo provider with a legacy of objective reporting spanning more than a century. It distributes photographs to digital and print outlets worldwide through press pools, including arrangements with the White House and U.S. Capitol, and via partner distribution networks. Its news feeds are carried by publishers, research databases, and mobile platforms, with upi.com delivering continuously updated coverage across topics such as news, entertainment, science, health, sports, and defense. Founded in 1907 by E.W. Scripps as United Press, it became UPI after a 1958 merger with the International News Service and operates within the book and periodical publishing industry from bases in Washington, D.C., and Boca Raton, Florida. In 2023, a notable development involved a partnership with the NPCI to enable linking RuPay cards with UPI for payments.
