Since the first photograph appeared in a newspaper in 1880,1 press photography agencies have played a key role in the visual documentation of the modern era. This website will explore the place of the agency in today's difficult marketplace, surveying the current state of affairs in the United Kingdom and abroad before briefly looking at the part played by subscription news services. Moving outside of the marketplace, the site will also identify opportunities available to press photographers for exhibition and funding, as well as education and apprenticeship.
