A. There was an emphasis on reporting straight news, without a bias.

Explanation:

Unlike earlier media outlets whose news items were often biased, the Associated Press, established in 1864 is known for its professionalism in news reportage and their news reports were void of biases. The Associated Press prides itself as the definitive source of independent journalism across the globe. Additionally, the Associated Press is a not for profit news organization, this is probably the reason for its straightforward and unbiased news since they are not in it for the money.
