I wonder the same thing. Today's (Friday) Times national edition has a color picture of a body floating near an overpass in New Orleans. The picture is on the front page. I noticed that the photo credit said "AFP/Getty Images." Is "AFP" the abbreviation for Agence France-Presse? If it is, is this one of the images that will be widely seen in, say, Europe -- and around the world, for that matter?

According to
this article, Agence France-Presse and Getty Images entered into a partnership in 2003. So I'm guessing yes, those photos will be seen around the world. And any media that subscribes to AP services will have those photos taken by the AP as well. I'm sure the American newspapers will censor the photos they use somewhat moreso than foreign papers will--seems to go that way, anyway. Foreign press seems to be a bit more open to graphic images than most American press.
