German DDP and DAPD: Joint DAPD service
The German news agencies DAPD and DDP will launch a joint basic service under the name DAPD on September 1. The service is intended to provide newsrooms with text, photos, and graphics from Germany and abroad.
Up to 500 reports per day and up to 2,000 photos are planned, as editor-in-chief Cord Dreyer said in Berlin on Thursday. In addition to the existing DAPD and DDP locations, DAPD will open nine additional offices in Germany, Dreyer announced.
In December, the German news service DDP acquired the German-language service of the US news agency Associated Press AP and renamed it DAPD. DDP secured the right to distribute AP's international reporting in words and pictures in Germany for 15 years.
