The Obturador MX agency carries out informative coverage of political, economic, cultural, sports and social events in Mexico City and different states of the Republic. It was born in 2015. Obturador MX was born as a space to train young women and members of the lgbtti+ community mainly. The sources that are covered daily according to their activity are the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches, autonomous bodies, delegations and parastatals. The content generated from the sources is photographic and video. Obturador MX clients can access 24 hours a day to obtain graphic and audiovisual material, this means that different editors from various media in the country, as well as the general public, generate traffic on the cover, photographic galleries and notes found on the website. The agency has an image and video bank of more than 200 thousand content in its different categories such as City, Politics, States, Culture, Red Note, Health, Tourism. And more than a hundred videos that can be used to dress the different television stories. Obturador MX is the photography, video and text agency that specializes in coverage of Mexico City, especially politics. With more than eight years of experience we have managed to position ourselves among the main media outlets and have catapulted ourselves as references in CDMX. Our content is replicated in different print and online media, newscasts and documentaries. In addition to carrying out special work for NGOs and Civil Associations, we are currently part of the Red es foto, a platform that houses different photography agencies throughout the country, among which an exchange of photographic material and support is carried out.
