VARIETY ADDS STAFF OF PHOTOGRAPHERS

Daily Variety said today (Friday) that it will hire its own photographers to cover such entertainment events as premieres, award shows, concerts and theater openings instead of licensing photos from news agencies. "For the first time in its 100-year history, Variety is creating a photo division," the trade publication announced, noting that before 1987 it was rare for it to run any photographs at all. It said that it had appointed Bruce Brosnan, its art director, to head the photo division.
