Law (general) / photograph agencies

English term or phrase: material

Here's the whole sentence :
"Agency's catalogue or other materials to promote photographs"

je suis tentée par le mot "support" ; mais en Anglais, ce serait "media" ; et je ne crois pas qu'on puisse 'calquer'.
Votre avis m'intéresse.

support

Explanation:
You came up with the right word yourself! Yes, "support" may sometimes be translated as "media", but that doesn't mean that no other translation (in either direction) is possible. Consider all the other possible meanings of "support"!

matériel (de promotion des photographes)

Explanation:
et pourquoi pas? ;-)
sinon, tu peux toujours utiliser *documents*

"Les sociétés qui consacrent la totalité ou l'essentiel de leur activité de distribution au répertoire peuvent également bénéficier d'une aide à la structure (sous réserve de "ressorties" d'au moins 3 films par an avec copies neuves, matériel de promotion conséquent). Elles peuvent en outre prétendre, film par film, à une aide au titre de la procédure AFCAE Répertoire."

"Initiatives des éditeurs et des libraires:
- opération spéciale "Offrez un livre et une rose", s'inspirant de la belle tradition catalane (Espagne),
- fête "Le livre dans la rue" avec ventes spéciales de livres à prix réduits et dédicaces d'auteurs,
- réalisation de matériel de promotion marqué du logo conçu par l'UNESCO pour cette Journée (affiches destinées aux établissements publics, banderoles, autocollants, marques pages, pins, t-shirts, cartes postales, etc.)"
