    The platform, AFP Forum, provides access to AFP's text, photo, video, graphic and video-graphic products, with more than 6,000 new documents available each day, covering global news in real time.

    It also provides access to the digital archives of AFP and its partners, some 40m documents including text reports going back to 1994 and photographs dating from more than 100 years.

    AFP clients, including newspapers, internet sites, television channels, mobile operators, institutions and corporations, have access to newswires, selected topics and breaking news alerts.

    The public will be able to search and consult photos, videos and graphics, but without usage rights.

    AFP's various products were previously provided on three distinct platforms for text, photo and video. AFP, one of the top three global news agencies, employs 2,260 people in 150 countries covering global news in six languages.
