Coverage which is both regional and international

AFP covers both international and regional news. This is why every text service has its own specific regional identity combining world news and news from the continent and area where it is based.
AFP’s text services regularly publish editorial calendars and memos that enable our customers to plan news coverage. Regional agendas list major events scheduled to take place the following day, week and month. Detailed regional coverage forecasts are also updated and made available several times per day.

Dixel

First use of a portable photo scanner for the digital transmission of captioned images. The Dixel replaces the Belinograph. The photographer no longer has to transport a complete darkroom weighing 50 kg to print photos on paper - necessary for transmission by Belinograph. The Dixel is one of the first 35mm scanners that can be carried in a small box. That year AFP beats all its competitors in photo distribution.
