Calls? Phone calls?

Context:

Associated Press director of photography Santiago Lyon said his organization would screen the material before distributing it to news outlets and would alert them to any “particularly graphic images” beforehand so they can make their own calls. Most news organizations that subscribe to AP do their own screening, he said, but some have feeds that automatically publish online AP-distributed work.

Thank you.

In "Most news organizations that subscribe to AP do their own screening, he said, but some have feeds that automatically publish online AP-distributed work,"

Isn't AP itself a news organization? Of course we all know AP is the most active news outlet in the world. We readers subscribe to AP. What I fail to understand is that why those news organizations have to subscribe to AP. Don't they themselves "manufacture" news reports?
