As CNN Considers News Service, AP Archive Goes Multimedia
The Associated Press is taking a multimedia approach to its stock footage business. The AP will give clients access to the still photos collection from aparchive.com, the news service’s footage sales business.
The AP Archive collection goes back more than 100 years, to 1896.

The AP hopes to give existing clients more access, while seeking new business just as CNN considers entering the news service business.
