Sites with an EDITORIAL License option

I think it might be nice to compile a list of sites that accept Editorial licenses, in case any of us shot news-related or event photography. Obviously those types of images may have recognizable people that you couldn't get Model Releases for, thus the "Editorial" license.

Am I missing any?

Alamy for sure.

I can now confirm Photoshelter has RM editorial licence. Just uploaded some from Roma Pride 2008.

Cutcaster does editorials too.

For those of us with OCD.

My question, since I only participate with Editorial at Alamy, for what prices?

Alamy is calculated by use so the price varies. I haven't seen any under $100. What about the rest of these? How do they calculate the pricing?

List prices... Alamy has been known to apply up to 90% discounts...

So if I sell one of my editorial photos on Dreamstime, for example, I'll get $1 commission, the same as the RF photos? What's the incentive in that?

Alamy gives 90% discounts to whom and how often? Or is that for special cases where volume buyers get a discount. Otherwise what's the use in having a calculator that says $155 for a photo, if it's meaningless. Of course that's still $15.

Seems illogical.
