Photographers
Belga has its own team of photographers and works on a regular basis with some 20 stringers. Photographers on location transmit their pictures via internet, mobile phone or satellite. Pictures are available to customers within 15 minutes of the news event taking place. Belga photographers cover all important news events in Belgium as well as all news events involving Belgians abroad, such as sports fixtures, official journeys by members of the Royal family or the government, etc. The rest of the international picture coverage is obtained through our partners EPA, AFP, MaxPPP, etc. At the Belga headquarters in Brussels, a team of 4 pictures editors takes care of all diary issues, selects the appropriate pictures, completes the data on the pictures and writes the captions.
