This chapter looks at the news and editorial division of Global Views Inc. (GVI), one of the largest corporate visual content providers, on the brink of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. It follows the fast paced work of Jackie, a photo editor at GVI, and other image brokers as they negotiate with photographers and publications. News images represent a mere fraction of the profits generated by selling visual content such as celebrity portraiture and stock photos. GVI produces no journalistic text and is not a news organization; hence this chapter looks at image brokers working to produce and circulate images as content for other professionals.Less
