Global Media News Company

breaking: Adnet’s picture desk serves the world’s news agencies

 

A strange new virus emerges in Wuhan, China. The 2020 presidential election kicks off. Australia and California are on fire. Phizer announces a new Covid vaccine. News today is a blizzard of stories and images. Read how Adnet Global’s 24/7 picture desk helps the world’s leading media organizations keep working during a pandemic, save money, and publish at the speed of light.

Here’s how it used to be.

When big news broke—conflict inside the royal family!—news agencies would assign photographers, videographers and editors to cover the story. There were trains and planes to catch. There were phones, cameras, memory cards and laptops. There was copious amounts of information to record and manage by a crush of professionals. Editors on the ground worked amidst the chaos in a mad rush to upload visual content to picture desks and news sites and wire services as fast as humanly possible, hoping they got everything right.

At Adnet Global, we’re helping to change all that.

A 24/7 global picture desk

Our editors are experts in sports, news and entertainment. We operate a centralized global picture desk on a 24/7 basis. This is where the world’s legendary picture and news agencies now rapidly upload all their visual content. The economics of the news industry coupled with a global pandemic had made things difficult for our media organization clients and they sought our help. Our teams stepped up to answer the call. And we are now working with some of the best organizations in the world. 

How it works

Teams on the ground upload still photography to the cloud as its being shot. Video follows right behind. When a seismic news story breaks, or a long-planned mega event unfolds, images and video are now uploaded to the cloud via wifi enabled digital cameras. Our global picture desk then edits, captions, and keywords the still images—in real time. Our teams turn all that work around in record time for publication. How fast is record time? Still images are published to our client’s site within three minutes. In that time they are precisely captioned, keyworded and tagged. Videos take a little bit longer. Proper captioning and keywording are absolutely essential to future licensing potential. 

Speed and precision

Most important to our clients is our speed and precision. News isn’t just blindingly fast, it’s nearly instantaneous. Whenever there’s a big story, accurately captioned visuals have to help tell the story—now. There is absolutely zero margin for error. When captioning images of important newsmakers, sports figures, celebrities and world leaders, trust is everything. Our clients know they can trust us. The reputational costs to a news organization for a wrongly worded caption, or a misnamed celebrity, is signifcant and long-lasting.

Understanding, compliance and redundancy

Our teams’ expertise comes from an understanding of the world. We know who all the players are, what the context of a given story might be, and, we understand all the relevatnt ITPC data and metadata that needs to attach to every image. Adnet Global has stringent processes for maximum compliance (to ensure a photograph is original and not manipulated in any way) and our systems and infrastructure are robust and redundant.  This is what we do. All day, every day.

From video editing, to infrastructure, from our compliance protocols, to our English speaking teams, we’re here 24/7, helping our media company clients stay on top as they cover the world.
