Stock photography agency Alamy has created a new 'real-time' wire for its images. The service, which has been launched in beta , provides news, sport and entertainment photos from the agency's international network of photographers and is refreshed every 10 minutes.

The company, which sells unedited images on behalf of a wide range of professional contributors and amateur photographers, is looking at ways to increase the speed with which the service is updated, according to a news release.

More than 250 photojournalists have signed up to have their images featured in the service, which is not currently searchable but allows news organisations to buy individual images from the wire.
