George Grantham Bain founded the first news photography service in 1898 in New York City. The Bain News Service accumulated photographs of world-wide coverage which were distributed to various newspapers. The Bain News Service was enhanced by receiving local pictures from its newspaper subscribors as part of their reimbursement.
