(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Reuters, the world's largest international multimedia news agency, and TIMA, a
global content service provider, today announced a major new global partnership
designed to offer location services including studio facilities and logistical
support to broadcasters and online media outlets.
Reuters-TIMA Location Services combines Reuters unparalleled global editorial
content, seen by over a billion people every day, with TIMA's cutting-edge
technology and considerable experience of service delivery for the international
media industry.
The new service, created in response to the increased demand for live content in
a shifting media landscape, will form a vast news and editorial network
providing every aspect of newsgathering facilities and support services. It will
combine invaluable local knowledge with strategically placed broadcast and
satellite resources in regional hubs. The service will launch at the
87th Academy Awards ceremony on 22nd February 2015, where live positions
overlooking the red carpet will be provided to clients.
Reuters-TIMA Location Services will offer experienced production and editorial
staff on the ground at key global events, rapid access to events of regional
significance, logistical services and dedicated customer support. The service
will also give clients access to high-tech live studio facilities around the
world, many with stunning city backdrops.
From New York to Moscow and Rio to Singapore, plus a network of Middle Eastern
offices, including TIMA's facilities in Tehran, Reuters-TIMA Location Services
has been set up to cover every major world event, from elections to summits,
sports to national celebrations and breaking news such as war, natural disasters
and militant attacks.
Tim Santhouse, Reuters Global Head of Video Products, says: "Reuters-TIMA
Location Services will support broadcasters and online publishers with
editorial, technical and infrastructure support on location. Our service will
enable our customers to focus on what they're good at - telling their story to
their audience - while the entire operational side, including technical and
local knowledge, is taken care of. This partnership brings together two sets of
skills and experience that will create a powerful newsgathering service for the
benefit of media companies."
Alla Salehian, CEO of TIMA, says: "International news stories today have more
impact beyond their borders than ever before. Alongside this, there are an
increasing number of TV channels across the world and a growing appetite for
online video content. The result is a huge demand for live international video
news and analysis 24-hours a day. Reuters-TIMA Location Services is uniquely
equipped to support this trend in a way that is both affordable and of high
quality."
