Speed: We deliver text and articles using the same systems that power our financial business, where milliseconds matter. Photos are delivered through a proprietary remote publishing platform that runs from camera to wire. This platform has led the way among our competitors for years.

Local presence: We’ve been operating in Rio for over 100 years. Our work on the World Cup in 2014 is a great illustration of our capabilities there. Additionally, Reuters Bureau and TV Studio are being upgraded in time for the games. All bolstered by our well-established network of local relationships.
Powerful partnerships: Reuters has an exclusive relationship and partnership with Infostrada, the official data provider of the IOC.
