In tribute to the work and spirit of pioneering photographer Robert Capa, CAPA (Chabalier Associates Press Agency) sends out its Betacam-wielding journalists with the same goal that inspired the Leica-toting photojournalists of the early 20th century: showing that every picture is a testimonial to one human being’s unique outlook.
CAPA makes no attempt to compete with the "news" teams that crisscross the four corners of the earth. Yet CAPA does follow current events closely, often even anticipating important breaking developments. CAPA was in Sudan and Kurdistan before events there roused the interest of the mainstream press.

This same spirit is the driving force behind CAPA's reports and feature-length documentaries. If we had to define the CAPA style, we would describe it as "getting closer to people, showing the flip side of the picture, investigating and understanding. Spending a year in a tough middle school, or four years documenting the construction of France's colossal new stadium. Digging through Cuban archives, or sounding the memories of foreign-born French citizens. All are good examples of how CAPA looks at our world. And others clearly appreciate our outlook, with CAPA productions currently broadcast on more than 90 television channels around the globe.

Shortly after its creation in 1989, CAPA Presse TV set up a special department to handle international sales and keep track of broadcasting rights using state-of-the-art software. Numerous TV networks around the globe have put their trust in CAPA, becoming faithful customers who regularly broadcast films made or produced by our teams.

CAPA Presse TV’s strong track record as an audiovisual producer is a solid guarantee for new media outlets in search of attractive content with high editorial quality.
