Reuters koopt Action Images
Reuters announced today that it has acquired Action Images, a London-based sports photography agency.
With the purchase, Reuters takes a step into commercial sports photography, a field now dominated by Getty Images but also crowded with many smaller agencies. Action Images will continue to exist as a separate brand, acting as a specialty arm of Reuters.
Reuters currently sells its sports products, including text and images, mainly as an editorial subscription service. Action Images focuses more on licensing images to commercial clients, including sponsors and sports bodies such as FIFA, the federation that governs World Cup soccer.
