The NewsMarket is a quickly-growing video portal where news broadcasters and Web producers download video files provided by a range of corporations, governmental organizations and non-profits.  These organizations pay the NewsMarket to host and distribute company-created content.

Downloads had been limited to "credentialed" media organizations.  Now the company is providing video to bloggers in a program called the Video Cafe, which was announced today.  There’s a lot of good content that’s been made available, including extraordinary footage of world health issues.

Earlier this year, I interviewed the NewsMarket founder and CEO Shoba Purushothaman who explained the program that was in development at the time.  The NewsMarket is funded by Hearst, Apax Partners and others.
