The Challenge

A global news leader
needed a local voice

With its rich network of 2,600 journalists, Reuters News — the global leader in information — provides two types of services: a raw product for major media companies, and a "ready to publish" product for electronic media and firms, covering topics from high-tech and finance to entertainment and light news.

In video, this offer was available exclusively in English. Reuters News concluded a partnership with AllTheContent to enable video localisation for relevant European and Latin American markets.

The challenge was finding a unique combination: video skills, localisation capabilities, a functional turnaround measured in hours, strong journalism experience — and ethical guarantees aligned with Reuters' editorial standards.
