I've just come across the following is it old news and I'm a tad behind the times.

Soundsd as though it is converging on PA's owners (consortium of newspapers)  rather than the 'indpendent' photographer.

And those images will apparently only be available for editorial use. Interesting to note give the concerns raised about the new contract clauses that refer to restrictions.

Link to the images on Alamy here.

 

As Wim pointed out in another thread there are no keywprds but this is probably fairly typical with agency news images. There are no separate credits for the individual photographers either though often there is a credit in the caption.

So who is the idiot who will take on the task of keywording those images.🤪

I saw some images for which they simply broke the caption into chunks to keyword. Probably the simplest easiest - not most effective - way to do it.
