The joint workflow streamlines how organizations manage and submit editorial imagery, reducing the time between capture and commercial availability

NEW YORK, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — PhotoShelter, a leading digital asset management (DAM) platform for brands, today announced a new integration with Getty Images that enables sports and higher education organizations to move content from capture to global licensing in real time.

The integration is designed to support professional sports teams, leagues, governing bodies, and college athletics departments with high-volume content production environments where speed and accuracy are critical.

The joint workflow streamlines how organizations manage and submit editorial imagery, reducing the time between capture and commercial availability. By connecting PhotoShelter’s centralized content management and real-time workflow platform with Getty Images’ global distribution infrastructure, contributors can deliver rights-cleared content directly into the licensing ecosystem—unlocking faster monetization of live event coverage at global scale. It also enables increased licensing opportunities for existing content archives.

“Great content moves fast, and the organizations behind it need technology that keeps up,” said Andrew Fingerman, CEO of PhotoShelter. “Many of the organizations we serve already rely on both PhotoShelter and Getty Images as part of their visual content strategy. Working together helps content production teams spend less time managing logistics and more time bringing great stories to the world, all while unlocking additional revenue opportunities.”

The integration is designed to support professional sports teams, leagues, governing bodies, and college athletics departments with high-volume content production environments where speed and accuracy are critical. From regular-season games and everyday campus life to playoffs, championships, ceremonies, and more, this process transforms the way institutions and organizations produce and monetize their imagery quickly, consistently, and with confidence.

Getty Images’ SVP of Global Strategic Partnerships Peter Orlowsky said, “This integration strengthens the connection between content creation and global distribution. It enables contributors to deliver high-quality, rights-ready imagery into the Getty Images marketplace more quickly, increasing the availability and commercial potential of their content at scale.”

The joint workflow is available to approved Getty Images contributors using PhotoShelter, with capabilities including:

Real-time content uploads during live events in PhotoShelter for BrandsAI-powered tagging that identifies people, players, logos, and objectsMetadata templates designed to meet Getty Images submission requirementsDirect FTP delivery to Getty Images using contributor credentialsIncreased licensing opportunities on Getty Images’ global distribution platform for content that already exists within the organization’s archive.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
