Today marks a new chapter in Bleacher Report’s commitment to giving fans the finest possible writing experience.

Effective immediately, the Open Source Sports Network has partnered with the world’s premier provider of high-quality photographs: Getty Images.

Bleacher Report writers will now have instant access to a massive library of images across every major sport—both American and international—including photos from games that have just concluded.

It is more evident than ever that the editorial content being produced at Bleacher Report is second to none. And by partnering with a major photo provider like Getty Images, we are proud to support the outstanding efforts of our writers.

    Sweet!

    So when we type in a player’s name, will that give us instant access to Getty’s archive? Or do we have permission to use their photos we find on the web?

    It gives you instant access to their entire photo gallery, including archives. It’s already working on the site. All you have to do is search for an image, and it will pull up Getty’s library.

    We do not have a license to take Getty Images from other sites, but it won’t be necessary, as their library and archives are now on B/R.

    I have only been with Bleacher Report for like a year, and the strides forward it has taken in that time has been unbelievable and this is just another example.

    Great job guys.

    Fantastic news!

  18. Andrew said on December 9, 2008 3:48 pm

    Awesome! However, when I go to edit one of my articles, it automatically removes the photo and I have to re-load one. Does this happen to others?
