AFP and Dalet Bring Trusted Content into Every Newsroom

Dalet, a leading technology and service provider for media-rich organizations, today announced a new integrated newsroom experience with Agence France-Presse (AFP), one of the worlds largest and most trusted international news agencies. The new AFP content experience in Dalet Flex transforms how news organizations discover, browse and produce stories, leveraging AFPs rich editorial intelligence throughout the production workflow.

Every day, AFP journalists produce hundreds of videos covering global events, accompanied by detailed editorial metadata that includes scene-by-scene descriptions, shot composition, locations, subjects, soundbites and contextual information. While this rich metadata has long been available through AFPs content services, many newsroom systems have been unable to fully leverage it.

Working closely together, AFP and Dalet have created a purpose-built experience for consuming AFP news content within Dalet Flex. Designed around AFPs editorial workflows and metadata model, the integration preserves the richness of AFPs editorial intelligence throughout the Dalet Flex production process, from content discovery and search to browsing, editing and story production. The result is a streamlined workflow that enables news organizations to access and use AFP content more efficiently.

AFPs journalists invest tremendous effort in enriching every story with detailed editorial metadata so that our customers can swiftly deliver content that truly speaks to their audiences, said Denis Achard, Video Customer Experience Manager, AFP. Working closely with Dalet allowed us to design an experience that preserves that editorial value throughout the newsroom workflow, making AFP content more discoverable, more intuitive to browse, and faster to put into production.

With the new AFP content experience, media is automatically delivered into Dalet Flex at regular intervals, with breaking news updates available in near real time. Journalists can quickly search and filter stories using AFP metadata, navigate directly to specific scenes or soundbites using shot-by-shot descriptions, and move seamlessly into editing with production-ready media compatible with Dalets editing environment.

With AFP metadata, journalists instantly get the complete picture. Not only can they select the exact shot type they need, but they also have immediate visibility into the author, source, status, location, and linked articles. By bypassing the tedious search for footage and context, they can focus on producing stories faster and with greater confidence.

When we first explored AFPs content, we were struck by the extraordinary richness of its editorial metadata, said Erwan Kerfourn, Head of Product Strategy at Dalet. We realized the industry wasnt fully benefiting from that investment. Together with AFP, we designed an experience that preserves the full value of their editorial intelligence inside Dalet Flex, giving newsrooms a dramatically better way to discover, understand and use trusted news content.

The new experience also strengthens the foundation for AI-assisted newsroom workflows. Because AFPs rich editorial context is preserved inside Dalet Flex, Dalia, Dalets media-aware AI platform, can understand stories with greater precision, helping journalists quickly research topics, assemble story sequences and surface the most relevant visual content while maintaining the trusted editorial context provided by AFP.

The AFP content experience for Dalet Flex is available immediately and will be demonstrated at IBC2026 (Dalet stand 7.A43).
