Pathé News was a producer of ''newsreels'' and documentaries from 1910 until 1970 in the United Kingdom. Its founder, Charles Pathé, was a pioneer of moving pictures in the silent era. The news clips featured the logo of a crowning rooster at the beginning of each reel. Its roots lie in 1896, Paris, France. The company invented the cinema ''newsreels'' with Pathé-Journal. French Pathé began its ''newsreel'' in 1908. This ''newsreel'' captured events of Frantz Reichelt's fatal parachute jump from the Eiffel Tower and Suffrgette Emily Davison's fatal injury by a racehorse. During the First World War, the cinema ''newsreels'' were called the Pathé Animated Gazettes. It continued news until 1980 and in 1958, Pathé was sold to Warner Brothers as Warner-Pathé.

By 1930, British Pathé was covering news, entertainment, sport, culture and women issues. On February 7, 2009, it launched a You Tube channel of its newsreel archive.

In April 2014, British-Pathé uploaded the entire collection of 85,000 historic films to its You Tube channel for viewers all over the world.
