# Reuters Connect: The World's Defining Moments, Captured For 175 years, Reuters has been where the world turns for facts it can trust. Reuters Connect is the single platform where the world can access Reuters breaking news images, award winning video and vast historical content archive. It also brings together content from world-class partners that complement our coverage, so you can easily find and license millions of assets in real time, giving your audience the best view of the story. Powered by the latest technology, including AI-powered search, Reuters Connect was designed for you to access the visuals you need, in real-time, to power your content production. ## The Evolution: From Reuters Pictures to Reuters Connect Reuters has always been a visual witness to history. For decades, Reuters Pictures defined how the world saw the news, from the frontlines of conflict to the emotions on the sidelines of sport. But as storytelling evolved, so did the demands on modern newsrooms. A single frame was no longer enough. Reuters Connect was created to answer that challenge. It unifies the full breadth of Reuters newsgathering, with live content being constantly added alongside an archive of iconic images and videos from history. What began as a service focused on images has become a complete ecosystem built for today's multi-format, multiplatform world - ready to publish in the formats your audience expects, and with flexible licensing options to suit your needs. ## Elevate your stories with Reuters trusted content When news breaks, the Reuters content you can access via Reuters Connect is built on journalists and cameras deployed on the ground, globally, and underpinned by Reuters Trust Principles.
