The critics and competitors of Getty Images can tick off examples of supposed conflicts of interest like rapid-fire photographs:
The race car driver Alex Zanardi's violent crash in 2001. A preseason basketball fistfight between Rick Fox of the Los Angeles Lakers and Doug Christie of the Sacramento Kings in 2002. The Vancouver Canucks star Todd Bertuzzi's sucker punch of the Colorado Avalanche rookie Steve Moore in a hockey game in March, breaking Mr. Moore's neck and ending his season.
These newsworthy sports events produced some of the most memorable, if grim, photojournalism of the last few years. But the clients of Getty, a growing stock photo agency that also produces a wire service for news organizations, were not offered any photos of the incidents.
To some newspaper editors who have stopped using Getty for sports photography - and even to some who still use Getty - the omissions raised questions about Getty's objectivity. In the last few years, Getty has formed exclusive, lucrative relationships with the professional sports leagues it also covers as a wire service.
