Getty Images will now be the exclusive global distributor of the imagery produced by The Washington Post's team of photojournalists. The move bolsters Getty's editorial image offering.
The Post's coverage has previously won five Pulitzers and numerous World Press Photo, Pictures of the Year International and other awards. It addition to political imagery, photography that appears in the newspaper documents national and global issues, sports and daily life.
Getty said the addition of such content allows the Seattle company to offer "the most comprehensive editorial imagery coverage of today's top stories." The company maintains that its editorial division-which produces a daily, all-digital offering delivered globally-remains among the fastest growing segments of its business.
