NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Reuters launched an Internet service Wednesday to offer unnarrated war-related video footage and live news conferences, government briefings and other events.The service is free but is expected to become a paid offering in the future, the company said.
The new offering "captures the scale of Reuters editorial operation and unrivaled expertise of our reporting team in and around Iraq," said Rich Sabreen, an executive vice president at Reuters. He said the news service has 150 journalists in the Middle East covering the Iraq story.
Reuters does not plan to make the channel a fulltime venture after an Iraq conflict's end. The "raw video" service is expected to be made available "from time to time in conjunction with specific activities and world events," the company said.
