Title: Getty Images not selling celebrity photo division WireImage to Reuters
Post by: bunhill on July 26, 2011, 15:09
Getty Images could sell celebrity photo division WireImage to Reuters for more than $300M (http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2011/07/26/2011-07-26_getty_images_could_sell_celebrity_photo_division_wireimage_to_reuters_for_more_t.html)

the headline contradicts the copy :)

A spokeswoman for Getty Images would only say that the company is "not selling WireImage to Reuters." She refused to answer additional questions for this story.

No it doesn't. Unless you believe a one liner denial and no comment are contradictions? It's a rumor, that's all.

A source tells us the stock photo agency Getty Images is in discussions to sell its celebrity and entertainment photography division, WireImage, to Reuters if the price is right.


But thanks for the link. I did find some important news:
